2008 Westminster Best in Show Winner Stays at New York’s Hotel Pennsylvania

In a post Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show interview at New York’s Hotel Pennsylvania, Aaron Wilkerson and Team Uno gave the following comments on their Westminster win: “Westminster has never been so exciting. The beagle is America’s dog and we are proud of our Uno (formerly known as K-Run's Park Me in First) winning Best in Show.”

Staying at Hotel Pennsylvania, Team Uno were in good spirits after a day of media interviews and tours. They were enjoying the facilities at the Hotel Pennsylvania and added: “What you offer at the Hotel Pennsylvania, from the service to the spa, is really good and we appreciate everything. You really go out of your way to make us feel welcome, for us and our dog. You can’t beat the perfect location right across from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station – in the heart of the city.”

“The Westminster is a prestigious event, and we consider the Hotel Pennsylvania to be the host hotel for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.”

“We were here last year and came back again this year! We look forward to coming back again in the future and thank to Hotel Pennsylvania for hosting our Best in Show winner.”
