Major Rogowski, a 10-year-old Border Collie owned by Laura Rogowski, was named Canton's Top Dog Tuesday after a drawing in the Town Clerk's office.
The number one pup will wear the #1 dog tag and received a bowl full of goodies.
The contest, sponsored by the Town Clerk, aims to draw attention to dog licensing, which is required by state statute by July 1 each year.
Of the licensing fee, $1 stays in Canton to support the town's animal control program and the rest goes to population control efforts through the state Department of Agriculture, according to a previous Patch article.
Dog licensing is done all year round and if you missed the due date, only a $1 fine is levied. See the town's website for details.
