This led to arguably the most adorable set of pictures in the history of random Googling. And a story that I remember from when it happened, whenever that was.
Uno, a 15-inch-long beagle, proved his puppy prowess by taking home the top honors at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show last night. Despite the breed's overwhelming popularity, this is the first time a beagle has taken the competition. "With fans calling out his name and clapping, he soaked in the cheers as he walked around the ring.
Clearly, the writer feels that “puppy prowess” is essentially Uno’s “it” factor. It’s how he overcame the crushing historical weight of a beagle never having won the Big Show before. And it had to be more dramatic than the Super Bowl where Tony Dungy became the first African-American coach to win, because on the other side was Lovie Smith, another African-American, so we knew change was in the air.
To me, though, “puppy prowess” sounds like an attribute that you carry in an RPG. “I just got a +2 Puppy Prowess card! Now I will be incrementally more successful in battles that necessitate cuteness and/or doleful eyes!”
