It's the Brian Laro show on WNYC.

Welcome back, everybody.

I'm Kusha Navidar, filling in for Brian today.

To end the show today, let's take a break from the news and spend a few minutes

praising our four-legged companions, specifically our dogs.

Tonight's the big finale, the best in-show contest at the Westminster Dog Show, which

I'll note was parodied so brilliantly and warmly by the Christopher guest crew,

including the late, the great Catherine O'Hara in the film Best in Show.

But right now, listeners, I've been excited about this all day and I'm ready to hear from you.

We want to hear what your dog deserves a trophy for.

Give us a call. Send us a text at 212-433 W-N-YC. That's 212-433-9-6-9-2.

Maybe your dog is well-trained, like the ones competing at Madison Square Garden and deserves

recognition for sitting and rolling over and not

jumping on everyone they meet.

Or maybe your dog just has the biggest heart or leaps the highest after that frisbee or buries your

shoes the deepest in the backyard or lets you dress them up in funny hats.

I mean, that deserves a medal, right?

That's the dog.

Is your dog able to chew up a new dog toy in record time?

Make up your award and tell us about it.

Text or call 212-433 W-N-YC.

That's 212-433-9692. What makes your dog the best in show? 21-2-4-3-2-233-92.
