Patch's Top Dog Contest: Meet Your Finalists

The winners of five regional Patch Top Dog contests, stretching from the Lehigh Valley through southern New Jersey, face off for our grand prize.

Dear Patch Readers,

We've spent the last month getting to know a lot of great dogs (and a lot of great dog owners), but now it's down to the final five.

Back in mid-June, we asked readers of more than 50 Patch sites in Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey to submit and vote on nominees for the title of Top Dog in their towns.

The local winners then faced off in five regional contests that stretched all the way from the Lehigh Valley down to South Jersey.

Meet the winners of those regional Top Dog contests:
