We Have a Winner!

Well, it took a while but I'm very pleased to announce that we have a costume contest winner! Sure, I suppose we could've deliberated faster and narrowed down the participating pups sooner, but you try picking one adorable dog out of a crowd. Here's what was at stake for the top five costumes: $100 from Zen Dog Training, a $100 gift certificate from Durty Harry's, a $50 gift card from Pawsh Dog Boutique and Salon, two $50 gift certificates from Beacon Street Grooming, and a fantastic prize from Cause to Paws. The top ten favorites also received free access to Zen Dog Training Online, our video solution center. Members can view dog training videos and learn our Zen Dog tips and tricks — remember, training is never over!

And our membership winners are...

Clockwise from the upper left: Daiquiri, a four-year-old English Setter from Wood Hole, Illinois; Wally, a two-year-old mini Dachshund from Brookline; Reuben, an eight-year-old lab/shepherd mix from Somerville; Junebug, a five-year-old pug from Roxbury; and, in the center, Brownie, a thirteen-month-old chihuahua from Marshfield.

And now for our top five...

• In first place and in the lower left: Oreo, a one-and-a-half-year-old spaniel/hound mix from Somerville.
• Tied for second and in the upper left: Sebastian, a five-year-old Boston terrier/pug Frog Prince and Annabell, a one-and-a-half-year-old Boston terrier Princess from Brookline.
