While it was definitely the day for the dogs to be in the spotlight, their owners too basked in the attention. Worth a dekko was Simba, the only Sharpie (The wrinkly pooch breed often seen in beauty cream commercials) stole the show.For her owner P Kumar, who got her all the way from Hungary it was well appreciated.
Avers Dr SK Agarwal, one of the organisers,”Simba was a natural winner seeing that she was the only specimen of the breed and in top condition. But I am glad to see that most of the 422 entries in our shows are very well maintained dogs.”
Bond, an English Mastiff too invited lot many curious onlookers owing to his size. His owner Arvind Singh did not enter him in the show but had got him to the grounds to get accustomed to such competitions.
Dodo, a charming Pug owned by Amit Raj Singh, amused all with his antics and managed to pick up a title as well as did Secret Spot a Beagle owned by Vipin Kapoor. DGP UP Vikram Singh also dropped in to have a look at the competitors while Mayor Dinesh Sharma gave away the prizes to winners.
