Go Dermot, go Dermot, we are behind you, beside you and with you in spirit. Bring one home for the team! Just don't let it go to your head.

USATODAY.com - Pug has been one for the (comfort of the) road: "And then there's Ch. Kendoric's Riversong Mulroney, a pug, and the No. 2-ranked dog in the nation in 2005, who sees the USA in a very different way — from a 2004 Ford Fun Mover motor home.

He is called Dermot, for short, named after actor Dermot Mulroney (The Family Stone). He is the winningest pug in the history of the breed (65 Best in Show victories in his career). And he tours the dog show circuit in a shiny, silver, 35-foot vehicle, complete with his very own canine entourage."

And I thought Shai was spoiled.

"The problem with Dermot is this: When you get a smart dog, they don't forget," says Clothier, who plans to retire Dermot after Westminster. "I don't know if he's the best pug ever, but he sure thinks he is."

Welcome to the world of the pug. I know Shai will have serious issues with some other pug thinking it is "it". She has occupied that spot her whole life and won't appreciate the competition from the riff raff.



Whatcha doin?
