Gloucester Point resident Junior & Jennifer Munn will be showing their  Pomeranian Ch Achilles Fit To Be Thai'd at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in Madison Square Garden, New York, NY., in February.

The dog is the result of a breeding that was years in planning and was accomplished through a 2,432 mile and 48 hour round trip journey to Nova Scotia Canada.

Mrs. Munn said that Thai's show career already includes wins in Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania and that a show is planned in Florida prior to making the trip to New York City.

Once in New York the dog will compete in the 131st annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show against dogs from almost every state of the union and with many other countries represented as well.

She adds that Thai's most important job though is as a therapy dog, he and his housemates are frequent visitors at a Gloucester assisted living community where Mrs. Munn is employed as a nurse.
