They are sooooo fluffy. And, kids especially love them.
But these puffy clouds on four legs usually aren’t treated like serious working dogs.
And so, when a bichon frise named Flynn was named Best in Show at the 142nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, people almost couldn’t believe it.
Howls of excitement.

Five-year-old Flynn was crowned last night as top dog over the nearly 3,000 other pure-bred pooches competing for the venerable prize.
Seriously, look at that face.
