Malachy the Pekingese won “Best in Show” from the Westminster Kennel Club, but alas, he didn’t win everyone’s heart in a dog show televised on Valentine’s night.Some dog fanciers find that strange little face of the Pekingese adorable. Some view that waddling ball of fur as a wonder of nature, amazing yet inscrutable.And others just ask, is that really a dog?
Malachy’s victory didn’t shock insiders to the world of dog judging, given that the 4-year-old had won 114 best in show awards during his brief career. But to ordinary viewers, the win prompted a large share of surprise and disappointment, judging by the commentary that has streamed online since Westminster judge Cindy Vogels rendered her decision Tuesday night.But in the Twitterverse, an online barometer of instant public opinion, many others didn’t get the judge’s choice. Or they just wanted another one of the seven finalists to win.
Pekingese wins best in show. Creates mighty wind.
