Best in Show winner at Westminster to retire

And in an amazing turn of events, he took home the first-ever "Reserve Best in Show" title. Basically, it's second place, but the first time a second-place winner had ever been named. While Swagger likely has a bright future ahead, Banana Joe is retiring.

The 137th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show took place Monday and Tuesday nights, Feb. 11 and 12. Best in Show was awarded to Banana Joe, the Affenpinscher out of the Toy group.

Affenpinscher means 'monkey terrier' in German, which is appropriate, because people are going bananas for the tiny breed! A few days ago, you probably had no idea what affenpinschers were; but pretty soon, you won't be able to escape them! Ever since

A tiny black affenpinscher called Banana Joe became top dog Tuesday by winning Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York. His handler, Ernesto Lara, lifted him in the air and shook him joyfully,
