At the 2024 National Dog Show, a pug named Vito stole the show and was crowned the winner. Vito, owned by Carolyn Koch and handled by Michael Scott, was praised for his personality and “perfect pug mug.” Scott attributed Vito’s success to his healthy diet, exercise, and grooming regimen. Vito has won 25 Best in Shows and is ranked as the No. 2 toy dog in America. The competition featured around 2,000 dogs representing 205 breeds, and Vito stood out among the seven group winners to ultimately win the Best in Show title and $20,000. Vito celebrated his victory by enjoying his favorite food. The Reserve Best in Show went to Verde, a Welsh Terrier, while the other group winners included dogs like Houston the Clumber Spaniel and Rupert the Berger Picard. The event was hosted by “Seinfeld” star John O’Hurley, NBC Sports analyst Mary Carillo, and longtime host David Frei. The 2024 competition marked a significant win for Vito and the pug breed, showcasing the charm and appeal of small dogs like Vito with their compact features and playful personalities.
