A good luck kiss for a toy poodle

(David L Ryan /Globe Staff)
Sanae Negishi gave her toy poodle Marla one last good luck kiss today before the pooch entered the ring at the Bay Colony Cluster Dog Show.
The contest runs through Sunday at the Bayside Exposition Center in Boston and is expected to draw an average of 3,000 pedigree pooches a day competing for best in show honors.
Some 30,000 people are expected to cheer for 160 different dog breeds, from common cocker spaniels and golden retrievers, to the exotic Black Russian Terriers, Glen of Imaal Terriers, German Pinschers and Neapolitan Mastiffs.
