Best in Show

Molokai debuts dog show.

From the original 16 canine companions of Molokai residents, they were whittled down to the top nine in their category: three finalists in small, medium, and large sizes. Then the judges of Molokai’s first ever dog show choose the ‘most different’ dog, ‘most pretty,’ and ‘most handsome’ – and of course, ‘most favorite.’

“We did it for fun – open to all breeds, pure and mixed,” said Lyndon Dela Cruz, owner of Simon & Friends Pet Shoppe and host to the dog show.

The judges were all employees or volunteers of the Molokai Humane Society.
