The little hound who drew a standing ovation for his win at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in February will be remembered as he was, in the height of his glory. Retiring at the tender age of two, Uno, the Beagle, has already accomplished everything any champion pup could want to do. He boasts 33 Best in Show ribbons, has appeared on numerous major TV shows, and rang the opening bell at the Nasdaq stock exchange.
I'm proud to say that Uno is retiring in my home state of Texas. But apparently his retirement won't mean lounging on the sofa every day. He is scheduled to visit the White House next month and will be riding in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Come November, I know I will be watching for that happy little pooch baying his song atop a glittering float. And I'm sure we'll be seeing Uno puppies in future dog shows.
