"A dachshund-cocker mix named Tillie that was rescued by a no-kill shelter last year in California won best of show Monday in an online competition in which 45,000 people voted.
Using the Internet allowed the show to reach the masses, while a new category was created to recognize dogs that are not included in traditional dog shows."
