The National Dog Show returns this Thanksgiving as one of America’s most cherished holiday traditions. This year’s edition features nearly 2,000 dogs competing for top honors.
The competition takes place at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania, but you don’t need to travel as NBC will broadcast a two-hour special today from noon to 2 p.m. local time, which you can live stream on Peacock, right after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Longtime commentators John O'Hurley and David Frei, alongside Mary Carillo, provide colorful commentary, behind-the-scenes stories, and expert insight into the judging process. Expect a delightful mix of serious competition and feel-good moments.
Last year’s winner, a pug named Vito the Pug, made history as the first pug ever to win Best in Show.
This is a great Thanksgiving event that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
