Westminster Dog Show Welcomes
NEW YORK, - The Quiet Pekingese slowly ran to victory on Tuesday at the 136th Westminster Kennel Club show, winning Dalmatian, German Shepherd, Dachshund, and three other dogs to become the first of his breed to win the prestigious annual event since 1990.
Malachi, the four-year-old dog is officially known as Ch. Palacegarden Malachi, a charmed packed Madison Square Garden Arena crowd, who roared their approval when his victory was announced.
Judge Cindy Vogels, who had been sequestered from the two-day competition, has not yet stepped into the ring for the best in the finale of his show, as described in 11-pound Malachi as "super-dog, which was a huge night."
"He was impressive," she said with a dog, which was number one in the toy group during the last two years and has won 115 best in show titles.
"It corresponds to (rock), the standard way ... great tonight, he was perfect," she said.
Pekingese, which attracted a lot of gentle laughter of the crowd with his shock of high-whipped hair, won it with soulful gaze up at the handler, David Fitzpatrick, as he walked around the ring in a deliberate pace that contrasts with the other dogs' trotting gate.
"These gates should be slow and dignified," Fitzpatrick said the toy breed. Earlier in the day, he said, the dog was "very calm and quiet," although he noted that "it is an extrovert in the ring."
Other dogs participating in a best of show round included the Irish Setter, Kerry Blue Terrier, and Doberman pinscher. There is an Irish Setter, Dalmatian or Dachshund has never won best in show at Westminster, the country's second oldest sporting event in the race only for the Kentucky Derby thoroughbred horses.
Fitzpatrick said Malachy, owned by Iris Love and Sandra Middlebrooks as well as himself, would now retire to the life of a house pet. "He won't be doing commercials, he's been working hard enough for the past two years," Fitzpatrick said.
But first, the nation's newest top dog will embark upon a string of television appearances on news and talk shows befitting other celebrities with one name, such as Madonna and Cher.
The handler promised the dog would soon be back to "running around the house and chasing squirrels outside -- all the normal things."
Describing Malachy's nature, Fitzpatrick said "he's dignified, devoted, and a wonderful companion. He's charming."

Prince Charles leads Dickens anniverary celebrations
Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period. Dickens enjoyed a wider popularity and fame than had any previous author during his lifetime, and he remains popular, having been responsible for some of English literature's most iconic novels and characters.
Many of his writings were originally published serially, in monthly instalments, a format of publication which Dickens himself helped popularise. Unlike other authors who completed novels before serialisation, Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialised. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by cliffhangers to keep the public looking forward to the next instalment. The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print.
Dickens's work has been highly praised for its realism, comedy, mastery of prose, unique personalities and concern for social reform by writers such as Leo Tolstoy, George Orwell and G. K. Chesterton; though others, such as Henry James and Virginia Woolf, have criticised it for sentimentality and implausibility.
Prince Charles is a global celebration on Tuesday marking the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens, one of the most respected writers of English literature, who wrote "Bleak House" and "A Tale of Two Cities."
The British heir to the throne, visited by Charles Dickens Museum in London, where the American actress Gillian Anderson, who played Miss Havisham in the BBC adaptation of "Great Expectations" will be read on the job novelist.
The prince then goes to Westminster Abbey to lay a wreath on the grave of the writer, whose stories and characters have lived in countless stage and screen adaptations.
There's an actor Ralph Fiennes, Claire Tomalin Dickens's biographer and great-great grandson of the author, Mark Dickens will be a special service for readers in the Poets Corner, where Dickens was buried in 1870, along with Geoffrey Chaucer, Tennyson, Samuel Johnson, Rudyard Kipling and other great writers.
The event will be the largest collection of the descendants of Dickens, with more than 200 members of the family going.
"This should help the Bicentennial reaffirm our commitment to improving the plight of the disadvantaged of our days," said Dean of Westminster, John Hall, referring to the concerns of Dickens social justice in their work and life.
British Council statement of the global "reading marathon" with 24 readings of 24 Dickens texts in 24 hours from Australia, taking in countries such as Iraq, China and Pakistan.
