For show dogs, it all came down to last night’s results. After weeks of grooming, pampering and prepping, the officials at the Westminster Dog Show declared Sadie, a four-year-old Scottish Terrier, the “Best in Show.”

We talk with Sarah Montague, a reporter with WNYC who has covered the dog show for a decade, about the winner and what makes the competition so appealing.
