For some dogs entered in the Westminster Kennel Club’s annual showcase in Manhattan this week, the show is already over. Hundreds of entrants in dozens of breeds got the once-over and a sudden goodbye in judging on Monday. As always, a few crowd favorites survived the cut. (They won’t win. They rarely do.) For those that remain, Tuesday will be a long day of grooming, snoozing and trying to stay on their best behavior before the Best in Show winner is announced tonight at Madison Square Garden.
