Here, pics from the winners in each group along with the Best in Show.

Michael Vick tweeted a really adorable photo last week of him and his cute little daughter, and eagle-eyed followers noticed something unusual on the kitchen table with them: a box of Milkbone dog biscuits. Which started a whole lotta speculation on whether Michael Vick had a dog, whether Michael Vick was legally allowed to have a dog, whether Michael Vick should morally be allowed to have a dog, and so forth. When Michael Vick the next day confirmed that he does indeed now own a dog, news reports on the story, predictably, bore headlines like DOG KILLER MICHAEL VICK HAS A NEW DOG.

On Wednesday, Michael Vick refused to say whether or not he owns a dog. The question was sparked by a picture Vick tweeted earlier in the week. A box of dog biscuits was visible in the corner of the pic. But, Vick said that he was only willing to talk football. Then, on Thursday, the Eagles QB issued a statement in which he admits to owning a dog. He says that the pet is a member of his family and is well cared for. He says he sees it as an opportunity to, "break the cycle." [Birds 24/7]

Bam Margera has issued a public apology after everyone got upset when he tweeted a picture of himself holding a fake gun to a puppy's head. Margera's snarling in the picture and someone off-frame is holding up a sign that says "If she poop's one more time she goes bye bye's." Note the random apostrophes. Animal rights groups spoke out against the picture, citing recent incidents of animal abuse in Chester County. This summer, two dogs were lit on fire. The jackass assures everyone he's an animal lover and would never hurt his puppy or any other pets. [Fox 29]
