Say hello to Bauer! He is a 2 year old Yellow Labrador Retriever who is a bundle of energy and fun! His favorite thing to do is go on hikes in Tyler Park and meet new dogs and people! His scuffed up silly pink nose matches his pink tongue, which is quite funny. Wish him luck in this contest!

Elphie is an amazing maltipoo! She has been my strength during a very difficult divorce. How can you wake up to this face and not be happy? I call her my little "bucket of love" because she embodies love.
Rufus and DeeDee are best buddies and keep me company while husband is out of town. They are love by many.
Little Leo - lookin' like the dog in the Grinch who stole Christmas!

Everyone knows their dog is the best dog. 

Now, Patch is giving you the chance to prove it.

We bring to you Patch's Top Dog contest.

Here’s how it works:

Beginning June 19, upload your favorite photo of your dog to this article (it’s super easy – just make sure you are a registered user first). In the caption, tell us your dog’s name and what makes him or her so special. One photo per owner, please.

You aren't a Patch user yet? No problem, just register by clicking here.

We'll accept entries for the Top Dog from June 19 to July 3.

Between June 19 and July 3, our users will vote in the comments on which dog is Newtown's Top Dog. So make sure you hit that social media campaign trail early! Share your post on Facebook and Twitter to gain more votes! The sooner you post your pup, the earlier you can start netting those votes!

On July 6, we will announce the winner of Newtown Patch Top Dog contest.

The winners of the local contests will then move on to a regional competition. The voting for that level runs from July 9 to 20, and again, will take place in the comments section of that article (which will be posted on July 9).

On July 23, the five regional winners will be unveiled, and they will face off to become Greater Philadelphia's Patch’s Top Dog from July 23 to 27. The winner will be announced July 30.

Look for great prizes at both the regional and Greater Philadelphia levels.

To vote: Look for the number in the top right corner of the photo and refer to that in the comments.

You can read the full contest rules here.

Clearly this has become a popularity contest and not "Top Dog" contest.

This is too easy to make alt email accounts and vote for your ugly dog.

the only thing ugly is your comment. Way to ruin a good thing with negative comments.

I saw this posted on reddit; a kid requesting that people vote for their mom's dogs because it would make her day. I read the rules that person played by them. How dare you say anything negative?

Rufus and Dee Dee are great companions for my wife. I am away for much of the year due to professional commitments and they offer comfort and lots of love. I thinks that they are beautiful..This is not Toddlers and Tiaras.
