Uno Lights Up the Empire State Building

As you know, the Westminster Kennel Club is holding their 133rd annual All-Breed Dog Show, but did you know that 2008 Best in Show winner, Uno, helped light up the Empire State Building in its honor? His little award-winning paw switched on the purple and yellow lights at 10 this morning. Now he's not only the first beagle to win Westminster, but also the first beagle to get this ESB honor. Oh Uno, what can't you do?

Uno has a red rocket in the fourth picture. That is all

Maybe it's just me, but the beagles at the dog show this year seem to have an attitude!

I'm hoping the Staffordshire Bull Terrier will take them down a notch.

Uno owes me $300!

You guys obviously haven't seen the TMZ exposé on Uno's shameful lifestyle of coke and dog-whores. The fame has sadly gotten to his head. I've heard he doesn't even wear pants to most of his appearances now.

Uno recently ditched the bling on the advice of his publicist but he still sneaks out at night sniffing butts in dark alleys and sidling up to fireplugs on the dirty side of the curb. And he is a 'puppy of interest' in an ongoing spay-to-play investigation.
