Come one, come all! The 141st Westminster Kennel Club Dog show has arrived in New York City. Taking place Feb. 13 and Feb. 14, hundreds of top canines will strut their stuff before the judges and look cute while doing so! Today the hound, toy, nonsporting and herding groups will compete for fame, glory and biscuits. Unlike baseball, there's lots of crying at the dog show, but not from sore losing. (OK, maybe on the part of handlers.) Let's take a look at the competitors.
