The Westminster Dog Show is for serious next level dog-loving. I mean, I love dogs (my wife and I have a pitbull-mix and a chihuahua-mix who is something of a star in Puerto Rico)… and hair too (even though I’m follicly challenged), but I am purely an amateur as evidenced by our mutts. If you love dogs, the Westminster should provide you with some prime people and dog watching. It is a hoot, in a “wow, the world is full of people-flying-their-freak-flag-high” kinda way. But also totally inspiring to see such dedication… The trainers are serious! And it’s on Valentine’s Day so you can take a date!
(Thanks for the press pass WNYC… weirdly these ran on the NYTimes T Magazine blog instead.)
