Uno & No. 'Uno' In America! A sold out Madison Square Garden, a smell of flap, fever and a perfect show, that is about to overrun excited crowd. Sharp lights on, marching music and all the audience focuses down to the stage. The atmosphere is cutting a man. Shouting, hailing and lousy noise follows the brisk performance, that crowned Uno's star night. Trying to avoid confusing you, one must say Uno is not a music superstar, although he has stared his shiny career yet. Uno is cheery, beautiful 15 inch long beagle, the current winner of 132nd Westminster show & the national dog's exhibition. This year, the show met 169 breeds and varieties with, precisely, 2.667 entries. And what is so special about the winner 2008? Uno could be called his majesty of anarchy. Despite of his strong challengers, advanced poodles, that belong to the most often winning breed, Uno made an impression by his performance, so charming, that the judge J. Donald Jones even called him a package of personality. 3 year-old Uno is the first beagle winning since 1939. According general opinion, this is a fresh change comparing to common elegant poodles. The vital family pet of Eddie Dziuk of Columbia, Mo., bays and chew into the microphone, when the crowd of reporters try to interview him, just few minutes after his bright victory. He seems to pay no attention to his fame. "He's a people's dog, a merry little hound," handler Aaron Wilkerson said. Uno proved that, every dog has a chance to win such a prestigious exhibition. Before the competition a dog expert David Frei, the announcer for USA Network's coverage of Westminster, made a courageous promise. "If he wins best in show, I'll rent him an apartment in New York City because I'll be traveling with him all year, so many people will want to see him," he said. "If he won, it would be the greatest thing for our show." While Uno - No. Uno can enjoy the America fame, Mr. Frei should start to think about a rent.
