(Cinnaminson) Susie is our family's most loyal member. She is a great companion and protector. She works hard and plays hard.

(Haddonfield) This is Murray, a Miniature Schnauzer mix, who rescued his person when she walked through the doors of Almost Home Shelter in Pennsauken, NJ five years ago. Murray may be small in stature, but he makes up for that with a big personality that everyone falls in love with. He's the perfect combination of rough-and-tumble playmate and lazy-day lapdog. Murray enjoys doing tricks for Cheerios (like running through or jumping over his tube) and keeping the varmints at bay at the community garden (lucky for his person, he's more into the chase than capturing the little buggers).

(Moorestown) Eddie, on the left, is a Chihuahua-rat terrier mix rescued from a kill shelter in South Carolina. He's cuddling with boxer Lilly, 2 years old. Credit Random Person

The local winners have been crowned and now it's time to vote on South Jersey's Top Dog.

The winner of this regional contest will represent the great Garden State in Greater Philadelphia Patch's Top Dog contest. The stakes have never been higher—we need a pup who can hold its own against those Philly dogs and, hopefully, win the whole contest. 

In this round, the six winners from our local Patch sites in Cinnaminson, Collingswood, Gloucester Township, Haddonfield, Moorestown and West Deptford are vying for your votes. Voting is simple: just leave a comment below with your pick. One vote per Patch account, please.

The contestants are:

Cinnaminson: Susie, the loyal protector

Collingswood: Piccolo, the ear-covering Chihuahua

Gloucester Township: Jazz, the lovingly spoiled rescue dog

Haddonfield: Murray, the dog everyone seems to know around town

Moorestown: Eddie and Lilly, the cuddling rescue pups

West Deptford:  Mr. Big, the singing Chihuahua 

Voting is open until 11:59 p.m. July 20. We'll announce a winner on July 23. Good luck to our six contenders! 

Click on the PDF, above, for the full rules.

Editor's note: Votes may be delayed as we have moved to moderated voting in light of inappropriate comments posted here. Legitimate votes will count, but they won't show up on the site immediately.

To the Moorestown reader posting fake disqualification comments under editors' names -- grow up. And stop it. This is a friendly dog contest, not the vote for emperor of the world. Treat it as such.

Yes, just to be clear, it wasn't an accusation lobbed toward you as the Moorestown dogs' owner. We just know the person was registering and posting through Moorestown Patch.

Think of the poor soul who has to count them...

Agreed, this way isn't perfect. The problem with our voting tool is that it's unscientific and can be manipulated to allow more than 1 vote per user account. Until that's addressed (and it will be), this is the easiest way.

But if you're getting the emails and want them to stop, scroll up to just before the comments section and click "unfollow." That should stop the emails.

Please, let's keep this a nice and friendly contest. It is about our dogs and how cute they are! There is no need for fake names and logging in as an administrator. I just got an email saying that my dogs were thrown out of the contest. It was obviously fake, and it is just really unnecessary. This is all in fun! :)

David Sgro

6:13 pm on Wednesday, July 11, 2012

TO PATCH ADMINS:
To make this fair, I would REALLY suggest you only count the votes that go to CONFIRMED e-mail addresses. Looks like some people may be taking advantage of the ability to post under multiple names without a real e-mail address

I had an email listed on another thread. You can go to the "comments" section on the user profile to see what people post everywhere on the site. This is why I'm not posting under an anonymous account. My daughter was also directly targeted with harassments here, where the Marlton user actually used her name to personalize the comments.

I'm sure next contest will be better thought out... Really all they need is a forum with radio boxes to select and a submit button. Also they should require e-mails to be verified to stop people from creating fake accounts to harass others or rack up more votes they dont deserve.

Does that stop the comments from taking up all the space and being annoying? It's a great idea but there has to be a better way to vote than thousands of comments.

There is. And it was launched by Patch yesterday and will be in place for our next contest of this kind. Until now, we had no way to limit users to one vote per poll. Thus, we opted to use the "comments count as votes" method for this contest. We do now have a way to limit users to one vote per poll, and will be utilizing this new tool for future polls. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we're trying to do something fun here during the summer.

To The Webmaster:
Your "unsubscribe" linkes in automated comment added emails DO NOT WORK. I am aware that I can log in and manually unfollow posts, however this needs to be fixed.

If I continue to get e-mails from your webiste I will be contacting the netblock owner as well as the abuse contacts for both patch.com and the sending mailserver IP. I consider this to be SPAM at this point as it is unwanted.

It's why I have said it before and will say it again... This voting system has it's flaws but it Patch has ANY sense they will only count votes from REAL CONFIRMED e-mail accounts. Unless someone has a catch-all or wants to create 300 AOL/G-mail/yahoo accounts or use a service like guerilla mail, their votes wont count
