The adorable 2-year-old bulldog Thor has found himself plenty of new fans – canine and human – after winning Best in Show at 2019's National Dog Show.
Beating out nearly 2,000 other canines from 194 breeds and varieties, the auburn-and-white Thor – whose official show name is GCHG Diamond Gold Majesu Pisko Bulls – was an unlikely victor Thursday, winning over the Westminster Kennel Club's No. 1 ranking dog (and Reserve Best in Show): a Havanese named Bono.
After winning in the non-sporting group, he beat out Bono, along with an Old English Sheepdog, a Golden Retriever, a Pharaoh Hound, a Siberian Husky and a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.
An absolute unit of a good boy at 60 pounds, he's become both a dog to watch in the competitive dog world – and a favorite among casual viewers (and bulldogs) watching at home.
