The 18 Best Moments from 2018's Westminster Dog Show

Last night wrapped up the 142nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. 

The Best in Show crown was awarded to a fluffy white Bichon Frise named Flynn and his handler Bill McFadden, but more than 2,800 dogs were entered to compete. That means there were many more favorite moments from the 142nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Here are our favorite moments and dogs of the 2018 Westminster Dog Show.

1. First, let's make it clear that Flynn totally deserved Best in Show...

The Westminster Kennel Club held its first dog show in Gilmore's Garden (now called Madison Square Garden), New York City in 1877, originally only showing gun dogs like Setters and Pointers.

In its 142nd year, it is the second-longest continually held sporting event behind the Kentucky Derby.
