Nearly 3,000 dogs came out to compete in the 140th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, but only one could claim to be top dog.

CJ beat out a German Shepherd, a Borzoi hound, a bulldog, a Shih Tzu, a Samoyed and a Skye terrier who had all advanced to the final round of Manhattan's annual Westminster Kennel Club show.
