From the Inside Flap
Welcome to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog show, where looks matter, but where canine charisma also counts. Here, dogs are valued not just for their ability to retrieve, sit, or stay, but for their topline (the silhouette presented by their back) and gait (their movement as they trot in the ring). Westminster is where amateur owner-breeders compete in the show ring alongside paid, professional handlers, and where, in a single moment, somebody's pet can be elevated to international celebrity. In Top Dogs, journalist Deborah Wood chronicles one wacky year of dog shows as competitors plan strategies, stage campaigns, and just plain slug it out for the honor of winning Best in Show at Westminster.
