It was controlled chaos backstage on the second day of the 133rd Westminster Dog Show. Shortly before starting the group judging portion of the evening, the dogs no longer vying for Best in Show lined up with their humans to exit Madison Square Garden.

Meanwhile, dogs still waiting to be judged in the Sporting, Toy and Working groups readied themselves for the judges.

Stump the 10 year-old Sussex spaniel would go on to win the Sporting group, as well as Best in Show later that evening.

    So funny about the stubble. Those are the world's most patient dogs. They do their own thing, though. Did you see the Scottie potty after judging, but still on camera? You must of seen and learned a lot. Thanks for sharing!
