What is special about JAP, our cover dog, goes beyond his Grand Championship status and into the special relationship between Jap and his owner, Bud Laird.
When Bud talks about Jap, it's in the same tone that one hears from a father or grandfather talking about their families.
Bud Laird, who suffers from several serious health problems, told one dog man that his prayers to the good Lord were that he would live long enough to see Jap make Grand Champion.
Not only did they make it, we are pleased to note that they made it to the Times as well.
Jap, a thirty-two to thirty-six pound competitor, is now retired following wins over Carr in 22 minutes at 32 pounds, The A-team in 32 minutes at 34 pounds, The Burkett Boys in 28 minutes at 35 pounds, Kelly in 32 minutes at 35 pounds, and Allen & Beene at 36 pounds.
To a top dog and top dog man our salute.
