The Parks & Recreation board presented community "Top Dog" awards during its regular meeting, announcing Sirius as the large/extra-large winner from 181 votes.
Chair said the contest was included on the evening's agenda and introduced owners and handlers to tell the group about each pet. "Sirius, he is... rescued him from a fraternity at Elon," Staff member said, describing Sirius as about 3 years old and an 80-pound "lap dog." Speaker comments praised organizers and sponsors and noted that Elizabeth Eswick tracked submissions coming in via Facebook.
The board also named Zoe the small/medium winner (118 votes) and Dixie the extra-small/small winner (117 votes). Staff member described Zoe as nearly 9 and the product of a multi-breed genetic test; Dixie was presented as a hyper, people-friendly miniature cared for by a family member.
The board thanked the local animal hospital for donating prizes and noted roughly 39 total dog entries across three categories. Organizers encouraged participants to pick up awards and attend upcoming Parks & Recreation events.
The meeting then moved into event planning for the Easter and summer-series programs.
