Best in Show (2000)
Die gesamte Hundebesitzer-Gemeinde in den Vereinigten Staaten kann es kaum mehr erwarten, denn es sind nur noch wenige Tage, bis die „Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show“ beginnt. Sie ist die größte Hunde-Show in den USA und daher immer ein wahres Highlight für die Liebhaber der verbeinigen besten Freunde des Menschen. Erwartet werden hunderte Teilnehmer, die beweisen wollen, dass ihr Hund den Sieg am meisten verdient hat und somit der beste Vierbeiner weit und breit ist. So auch Halran Pepper der seinen Bluthund Hubert auf Sieg getrimmt hat. Auch die das Anwaltspärchen Swan hat ihren neurotischen Weimeraner so gut es geht auf die Show vorbereitet und auch die Eheleute Ferry und Cookie Fleck sind sich mit Hund sicher, dass sie den Sieg davon tragen werden. Wenn jedoch so viele exotische und exzentrische Personen aufeinandertreffen, ist das Chaos schon vorprogrammiert.
