A Scottish deerhound that loves to chase wild animals caught her biggest prize yet, winning best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.
A 5-year-old named Hickory from Virginia pulled a huge surprise at Madison Square Garden, bounding away with the title of America's top dog.
Judge Paolo Dondina ofItaly picked 38.5kg Hickory from a best-of-seven final show ring that truly sounded international - there was a Pekingese, Portuguese water dog, Chinese shar-pei, smooth fox terrier, bearded collie and black cocker spaniel. A couple of those pooches on the green-carpeted ring with Hickory were among America's top show dogs in 2010.
Hickory became the first kind of her breed to win the ribbon.
