Crufts winner Maisie takes toilet break live on TV during lap of honour
Kim McCalmont, owner of the wire-haired dachshund, was on hand with a baggie to clean up the mess.
The winner of the big prize at Crufts found success went straight through her as she took an emergency toilet break on her victory lap.
Maisie, a wire-haired dachshund, was named Best In Show at the annual event at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre on Sunday.
But she became something of a party pooper for owner Kim McCalmont as the pup answered a call of nature on live TV at her moment of triumph.
Luckily, Ms McCalmont had the necessary equipment at the ready, fishing a baggie from her jacket pocket to deal with the mess.
Maisie, who came up trumps in the hound category, came out on top ahead of seven other finalists, including Pixie the Kerry blue terrier, Frankie the miniature poodle and Zokni, an old English sheepdog.
“She’s had a lovely day, she loves the shows.”
