The big story in the dog world this week is the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. While not really relevant to most of our lives, it is a lot of fun to watch to see the different breeds and cheer on our favorites.

When we were little girls, our mother would take us to the local Chicago equivalent – the International Kennel Club Dog Show every year. We would spend hours going up and down the benching aisles (benched shows require the dogs and people to stay all day and have assigned “seating” for them), talking to the people, getting to meet the dogs, learning about dogs. And Mom bought us a hot dog, lemonade, and fudge for lunch.

This year a New York Times photographer had a different kind of assignment for the show – take pictures of dogs and their owners. The Times has turned it into a “match the dog/owner” quiz here. We did okay – a few seemed unlikely pairs to us, but we’re not sure we look much like our dogs, either!
