Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Vito the pug was crowned the winner of the National Dog Show, earning his owners a $20,000 grand prize, at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center Thursday.
"I was optimistic," Vito's handler, Michael Scott, said in a statement. "I always hope to get a really good look [from the judge]. ... Vito has a beautiful head and expression. Great outline."
John O'Hurley and David Frei hosted the show on NBC and Peacock.
Last year's winner was a Sealyham Terrier named Stache.
