Truly best in show: Westminster winner makes Broadway debut
NEW YORK — America’s new top dog became best in a Broadway show.
Flynn the bichon frise took quite a victory lap on Valentine’s Day, hours after he won the Westminster Kennel Club dog show at Madison Square Garden.
The white powder puff’s tour of the town finished Wednesday night with a walk-on part in the Tony Award-winning musical “Kinky Boots.”
Flynn drew hearty applause when he strolled on stage with handler Bill McFadden at the start of the show. Actor Daniel Stewart Sherman was alongside them and didn’t need to introduce the special guests — the audience quickly caught on after seeing the champion’s big purple and gold ribbon.
