A Pekingese named Malachy won Best in Show at the 136th Westminster Kennel Club dog show Tuesday night. Take a look above if you're curious as to what a Pekingese looks like - a giant ball of fluff.
For today's 9:30 Coffee Break we're looking for songs about dogs, or mentioning dogs in the lyrics or title of the song.
