Almost 2,000 dogs from 207 eligible breeds and varieties competed this past weekend at the Kennel Club of Beverly Hills Dog Show at the Fairplex in Pomona. Expo halls were filled with over 100 guests, who were at grooming stations, in competing rings, and shopping outdoors at dog-related vendors that sold items like collars, leashes, treats, and clothes.
The debate over whether dogs or cats are the better companion for people has gone on for ages, and students at the University of La Verne have strong opinions on the subject.
