By Alison Kirsch and Jailyn Taylor
Dog lovers, perk up your ears! The Pine Needle has called in all dogs owned by students and staff to compete in Central’s first ever Top Dog Competition. As one can expect, the selection process for this competition was an extremely ‘ruff’ task. Nonetheless, by means of a formulated voting process the following results have been determined.
