    CANINE QUEEN

    The new champion of Britain's Crufts Festival, the world's largest dog show, has been crowned. Interestingly, the new top dog and current Queen of England share something in common -- other than their home country -- their name. Elizabeth, a Lhasa Apso, was named Best in Show at the 121st Crufts show this weekend, beating out 21,000 other dogs. Even though the show has been around for over a century, it had some unusual firsts this year including the removal of several dogs due to health concerns. (AFP)
