Uno is Numero Uno!

Congratulations to Uno, the 15 inch beagle who took Best in Show in the 2008 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. The first beagle ever to win Best In Show, Uno did beagles around the world proud. Uno was easily the crowd favorite, strutting his stuff to thunderous applause in Madison Square Garden. Since his winning Tuesday night, news and talk shows from David Letterman to The Today Show to Charlie Rose have had “interviews” with Uno. Not since Snoopy has a beagle garnered this much media attention. Learn more about beagles and the other breeds from our extensive dog book collection, or be inspired by Snoopy and the gang with Peanuts Guide to Life, in which the famous beagle offers such wise advice as “Never try to lick ice cream off a hot sidewalk!” and "Keep looking up...That's the secret of life."

And Charlie Brown's advice on love, fitting on this Valentine's Day, is "Giving! The only real joy is giving!" Happy Valentine's Day!
