Sure, there's American Idol on tonight, but there's the Westminster Kennel Club's 131st annual Best in Show tonight! Today was the second day of judging, and there was at least one upset: Last year's Herding Group winner, Smokin', "got dumped in the breed." Aww, poor Smokin'! Newsday's Denise Flaim says that springer spaniel James, if he wins Best in Group, may be Dandie Dinmont Harry's competition during Best in Show.

Purebred dogs from across the country are rocking out at Madison Square Garden for the Westminster Kennel Club's 131 Westminster Dog Show. Over 2,600 dogs are competing today and tomorrow for Best in Breed and Best in Show prizes.

There's a rather amazing story in New York about two of the city's medical examiners trying to find their missing puggle. While the article by senior forensic pathologist Jonathan Hayes is titled "Bonfire of the Puggle," it's definitely got the makings of a local Lord of the Rings, as there travels to Tampa, Alphabet City and the Bronx, not to mention gang tattoos and melanoma fear. And since $1,000 was being offered as a reward, there is a happy ending.
