Royal Precious JP's F4 Conan — to give him his pedigree name — does not look like a champion as he lounges on his owner's sofa wearing a Spider-Man bodysuit.
The long hair on his face is wrapped up in paper bundles fastened with rubber bands, and he has a baby's diaper wedged over his rear end.
Just three weeks earlier, Conan, as he is known for short, won the best of breed prize for Yorkshire terriers at Britain's Crufts, one of the biggest and most prestigious dog shows in the world. He narrowly missed out on a place in the best in show competition, finishing second in the toy dog category behind a papillon that went on to win the overall title.
