Scottish deerhound Hickory took home the top prize at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Tuesday night.
The 5-year-old dog was named the “Best in Show.” The dog and her handler Angela Lloyd appeared on CBS’s Early Show on Wednesday, saying that Hickory “was the best she had ever shown for me in the whole two-and-a-half years that I’ve shown her, and she owned it.”
The Westminster dog show is the most prestigious event of its type for purebred dogs in the nation.
With Hickory’s win, it marks the first time that a Scottish deerhound has won the event, the Los Angeles Times noted.
“She’s the world’s newest single-name celebrity,” said David Frei, the host of the Westminster show for more than 20 years, on the Early Show.
