This year's Top Dog competition at Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins, sponsored by Arula, featured 15 pups competing for the title of Top Dog and the opportunity to have their face on a beer can. The annual event, which has been held since 2021, raises funds for the Northern Colorado Wildlife Center, which works to rehabilitate sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife and release them back into their natural habitats, as well as educate the public about wildlife and promote the preservation of native ecosystems.
The winner of this year's competition was a 10-year-old Golden Retriever named Knox, who impressed the crowd with his loyalty and love for his owner. Along with hosting the event, Odell also designs a specialty beer label featuring the Top Dog. Congratulations to Knox and his family, and a big thank you to all participants and the Northern Colorado Wildlife Center.
