underdog, decorate, lollipop, hexagon, money, and photograph
Nobody expected the underdog bloodhound to win Best in Show. Minutes before judging, Otto escaped backstage and ransacked the snack stand, emerging with a lollipop stuck to his head, looking a lot like a unicorn.
The judges gasped. “Remarkable! He’s managed to decorate himself as The Amazing Unidog!
Otto posed on the hexagon-shaped platform while his owner happily accepted the prize money.
The photograph went viral.
