America’s top dog is a bichon frise. Flynn the bichon frise was named Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Tuesday night. The choice surprised just about everyone watching. The Associated Press reported that people who had been loudly shouting for their favorite dogs became silent when a judge announced the winner. Flynn beat out several other dogs to capture the prize. They included Ty the giant schnauzer, Biggie the pug, Bean the Sussex spaniel, Lucy the borzoi, Slick the border collie and Winston the Norfolk terrier. The kennel club says the bichon frise is known as good animal for companionship. This breed of dog came from the Mediterranean area. During Europe’s Renaissance, painters often included them in their works. The breed was brought to the United States in the 1950s.
