The Westminster Kennel Club is getting ready to crown its top dog. After two days, 2,500 dogs and more than 200 breeds, it will come down to seven canines vying Tuesday night for U.S. show dogs’ most coveted prize. Four finalists already have been chosen. There's an Afghan hound named Zaida, a Lhasa apso called JJ, a Maltese named Cookie, and an old English sheepdog dubbed Graham. Three more rivals will be selected Tuesday night before they all face off at Madison Square Garden for the best in show prize.
