Prizes will be awarded to the Top 10 Dogs who receive the most votes.
Top Dog -- First Place:
The dog with the most votes will be crowned “Top Dog Memphis” for 2025.
The winning dog will be prominently featured on the front label of a special beer brewed by Grind City Brewing Company. The dog owner will have the opportunity to help with the design of the beer label (subject to approval by Grind City Brewing Co. and regulatory agencies).
Here is the label from last year with our winner Ropemane!
The Top Dog may be asked to attend promotional events during the year and be available for interviews by the news media. Photos of the winner may be used for promotional purposes.
Second Place:
The dog with the second highest number of votes will be deemed the “Top Dog Memphis Runner Up” for 2025.
The second place dog will receive a custom portrait of themselves by local pet artist Melanie Anderson. Please note that the time to complete the artwork once the second place dog is awarded will depend on the schedule of the artist.
In the event that the first place dog is unable or unwilling to fulfill all of the roles and responsibilities of being Top Dog Memphis, the second place dog will assume that title and receive all of the benefits described above.
Third Place:
The dog with the third highest number of votes will be deemed the “Third Top Dog Memphis” for 2025.
The third place dog will receive a $100 gift certificate from Hollywood Feed for food and fun stuff.
Fourth through Tenth Place:
The dogs with the fourth through tenth highest number of votes will be deemed “still a Top Dog” and will receive a $50 Hollywood Feed gift certificate for treats, toys and fun.
