The benching area at The National Dog Show Presented by Purina is my favorite part of the event.  Visitors have an opportunity to meet the dogs up close and personal, learn about the breeds, talk with the owners/handlers, and just plain old have a great time in the company of the most beautiful dogs in the world!  These are 3 of my favorite shots from ‘behind the scenes’ at the show last Saturday.  Be sure to turn in to NBC at noon on Thanksgiving (all time zones) and watch The National Dog Show with hosts David Frei and John O’Hurley.  I would tell you who wins Best in Show, but I’m sworn to secrecy!  You’ll have to tune in to find out!  🙂
