Gorgeous Malinois.
Have a good time in Omaha, Chris. I look forward to your human-interest reporting.

ETA:

This photo suggests that Ashley Wagner has a weakness for pups too :

I wonder whether they all belong to her?

I'm sure that's true. I wouldn't go up to just anyone and talk, but I've felt perfectly comfortable approaching any number of people to ask, "Is that a King Charles spaniel/Bedlington terrier/mastiff/(fill in the blank)?" or just to say "What a beautiful dog."

Same here.

One of my favorite canine anecdotes:
Recently I was riding an elevator in a mall with two cute dogs who had some resemblance to each other, although one clearly was larger than the other. Both had light-colored fur, but of slightly different shades and slightly different textures. Their shapes of their faces and ears looked slightly different too.
I heard myself asking their human companion, "Are they related?" He didn't say anything right away, and seemed to be struggling to decide how to answer, so I rephrased my question. "I mean, you're the dad for both. And are they related by blood too?" Then he sheepishly laughed, and replied right away, "No, but you see how bad it is ..." Adorable.

LOL, the "official" mascot of Team USA apparently -- wearing Stars and Stripes, no less.

And in the judges area, no less! Tried to get a pic of the bomb detection dog at Cleveland but didnt get a good shot of him.
Maybe at Omaha they will have a drug detection dog...hey, why are all the coaches leaving????
