There could be only one; this the contenders knew well. You could see them lining the walls, making last-minute preparations, straightening their suits, practicing their walk.
They knew there would have only one shot.
The weight of the task they were entrusted hung heavily on the shoulders of the voters, including yours truly. We took notes and compared our hurriedly-scribbled thoughts. We debated. We disagreed. We compromised.
Finally, with an anxious look from the moderator, we made our decision.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say to all of the Pugs and Chihuahuas who so excitedly stood before us, pride brimming from the eyes and beaming from the smiles of their parents -- thank you for the honor of telling us your stories and sharing the your Halloween costumes with us this weekend at Animal Haven. The decisions on who would be the winner in each category were more difficult than you can imagine.
But with parents like you, all of those little ones already won the greatest gift a little dog could ever have. A home.
