Program alert: Westminster Kennel Club competition

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Well, not quite.

The Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) dog show returns to Madison Square Garden next week for a competition that draws an elite group of 2,500 canines. With no presumptive favorites this year's competition is rife for an unknown to snag the "Best in Show" title.

One could spend Valentine's Day eating out for one of those overpriced "romantic" meals (scallop carpaccio with squash vinaigrette, beef tenderloin with portobello mushrooms and orzo risotto, chocolate lover's lava cake with raspberry sorbert). Or one could settle down in front of the television with the family Shiba Inu and a bucket of chicken to watch the self-proclaimed "America's dog show":

8 pm to 9 pm EST, USA Network
9 pm to 11 pm EST, CNBC
