Introducing
PASSION, GLORY,
and Lots of SLOBBER at the WESTMINSTER DOG SHOW
DOGLAND is a look inside the Westminster Dog Show, told through the story of a champion Samoyed named Striker and his handler, Laura King. But it’s a lot more than that. It goes back into the history of humans and dogs to explore how we created dogs–and how they, in some ways, created us.
