Gia, a Greyhound, captured the prestigious Best in Show prize at the 2016 National Dog Show on Thanksgiving.
For the uninitiated, hundreds of dogs are split into seven different groups: Terrier Group, Toy Group, Working Group, Sporting Group, Hound Group, Non-Sporting Group and Herding Group. After going through the judging process, a winning dog was chosen from each group, and then those seven dogs went against one another for the National Dog Show’s ultimate prize.
