A three-year-old Pekingese named Wasabi won best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show Simdau night, the fifth time the toy breed has won the dog show world’s most prestigious competition.

The competition was held outside of New York City this year for this first time since its 1877 founding due to the pandemic. Instead of its usual Madison Square Garden location, it took place outdoors at an estate in Tarrytown, about 25 miles north of Manhattan. It also took place in June instead of its usual time in February, and there were no members of the public.
