No joke, Cosby's dog could be top dog

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Hey, hey, hey, the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York became another stage for Bill Cosby with his dog as the headliner.

Fineus Fogg, the show's lone Dandie Dinmont terrier entry, already tapped as Best in Breed and Best in Category, qualifies to compete against six other finalists for the grand title Tuesday, the New York Daily News said.

Cosby wasn't at the previous competition in Madison Square Garden because he didn't want to jinx the pooch's chances, the dog's handler said.

But now that the dog, also called Harry, has advanced, who knows.

Before the competition ends, more than 2,600 dogs will have walked, paused and posed for judges.
