Between parades, food and football, Thanksgiving Day is full of traditions, which includes the National Dog Show. The 2025 National Dog Show returns with more than 180 breeds competing in the two-hour holiday special. Vito, a pug, was crowned last year's winner of the coveted Best in Show title and took home the $20,000 top prize. The most widely viewed dog show in America airs right after the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Here is a sneak peek of some of the competition from Philadelphia which happened earlier this month.
