A giant schnauzer named Monty has won the top prize at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Monty bested six other finalists to take best in show Tuesday night at New York's Madison Square Garden.
The beloved feline was feared dead for two months after the Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles left her family's home in ashes.
The U.S. still has a major case of French bulldog fever, but a very different breed is staunchly chasing dog lovers' hearts, according to American Kennel Club statistics.
