Last year’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show best in show winner was arrested moments before this year’s contest was to commence. The New York police department announced that Uno, last year’s top beagle, was being investigated for allegedly assaulting an unidentified bitch the night before. Uno turned himself in to authorities and was briefly held before posting $50,000 bail Sunday night, dog house records showed.

Details are sketchy at this point but insiders say that Uno and longtime companion Cheerio the Pomeranian, were both slated to be lead around by large women in comfortable shoes last night. However, both separately dropped out at the last minute. The victim of Uno’s alleged assault wasn’t immediately identified, but other Westminster competitors volunteered tails of abusive behavior and unrelenting butt sniffing from the beagle towards Cheerio.

Brando, a Dougue e Bordeaux, who’s close to Uno spoke to the press inside the Pennsylvania hotel near Madison Square Garden late yesterday.

“Ever since taking Westminster last year, Uno’s been a little out of control. I accompanied him to a frat party at the University of South Carolina last November where he proceeded to get totally wasted, taking bong hit after bong hit. It’s a good thing no one had opposable thumbs, much less a cell phone to document his behavior.”

“Maybe this will serve as a wake-up call,” said the hulking dog before retreating to his room to chew on a squeaky yellow duckie.

Fallout from the arrest has already begun. Wrigley has reportedly dropped their Doublemint gum sponsorship with Uno as has Snasauges.

So far no one from the Cheerio camp has spoken out on the incident but it’s reported the Pom is headed back to the Bahamas to spend time with family.
