Uno the beagle retires from the show ring:

Less than a month after winning best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club, his team made it official: America’s top dog has retired.

“If anyone could bark out signals like Brett Favre, it’s Uno,” David Frei, host of the Westminster television coverage, said Friday. “Like Brett, he did it all.”
