“Best in the Show'” directed by Christopher Guest showed how each character was connected to their love ones, dogs. Each scene in the movie was focused o one couple who were preparing for the Mayflower Kennel Dog Show in Philadelphia,PA and what types of things they will do to their dog just for it to win the competition. For example there was a middle class couple in Florida who will sing about their dog Winky and through out the film they will encounter ex boyfriends of Cookie Fleck, the wife of Gerry Fleck. This film has portrayed the notion of happiness by demonstrating that people will do anything to strive for happiness and perfection, even if its through their dogs.

This film made excellent transitions from one couple to the next because each and everyone of them were connected to one goal, to win the dog show in PA By being a independent film/ documentary it helped the viewers gain a personal connection to each and every character represented in the film. It worked by showing different types of personalities and how the dogs were related to their owner. For example there was a Shih Zuh named Miss Agnes and she was owned by a gay couple. In comparison to the gay couple,Miss Agnes showed a sense of style and elegance just like one of the partners did during the dog show.The director did a great job conveying the idea of happiness and perfection to the audience because many of us have pets and were able to relate to the type of obstacles the characters had to go through with their dogs. It definitely impacted me because I take care of my dog as if she was another person in the family, so to view this movie I was able to relate like many other dog owners to what each couple had to go through to win the competition. It’s been told that by viewing one’s dog, you already know its owner.
