Banana Joe V Tani Kazari, a five-year-old Affenpinscher, won last
night's Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Joe is the first Affenpinscher to win Westminster's Best in Show. The
small black dog beat out six other dogs that had won in their respective
contest groups  --  Adam, a Smooth Fox Terrier; Oakley, a German
Wirehaired Pointer; Jewel, an American Foxhound; Matisse, a Portuguese
Water Dog; Honor, a Bichon Frisé, and crowd favorite Swagger, an Old
English Sheepdog  --  to win the title.

Joe will be turning six next month and is retiring from his career as a
show dog. Today, he is to fly back to the country of his birth, The
Netherlands.
