Thanksgiving is full of family activities, ranging from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to the elaborate family meal to the NFL football slate in the afternoon. But there's also one of the most important events, with the National Dog Show taking place Thursday midday.

Over 180 breeds will compete for the title of Best In Show, hoping to claim the blue ribbon signifying the very best dog. Last year, a pug named Vito took the top prize. The commentating crew of John O'Hurley, David Frei and Mary Carillo all return for this year's show, too.
