Austin’s Uno the beagle ejected from Westminster at Madison Square Garden.
Uno the beagle was the first of his breed to win Best in Show at Westminster in 2008 and is still widely considered to be one of the show’s most popular pooches, according to the Associated Press. He beat out six other top dogs on his way to Best In Show all those years ago and was the first beagle to win the hound category since 1939. Which is why what happened Monday night all the more ridiculous.
The beloved beagle was back in New York to appear on the show’s telecast and made it all the way inside, where he began barking — “the howl heard around the world,” as his handler Tristan Huebner once said.
Once Uno started barking, Westminster officials found and ejected him from Madison Square Garden, because he was an “undocumented dog,” according to Fox Sports.
Apparently Uno got no special favors as a former champion. Westminster President Sean McCarthy said Uno was ejected as “any undocumented dog would’ve been.” Harsh.
