At 10 years of age–that’s almost 70 in human years–Sussex spaniel Stump became the oldest Best in Show winner in history at the Westminster Kennel Club’s 133rd Annual Dog Show at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night.

Stump, who nearly died of a medical condition five years ago, just came out of retirement last week.
