The annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is underway, and over 3,000 dogs from around the world have gathered in New York City to participate in various competitions.

The coveted best in show award, snagged by Monty the giant schnauzer last February, will cap off the multi-day event at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. In the meantime, check out the action at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, where dogs vied to be champs in masters agility, flyball and more.
