Lady Tess, a miniature Dachshund from Stony Creek, recently won the distinction of Branford’s 2017 Top Dog. The contest winner was drawn at random from families who licensed their dogs during dog licensing month in June. Owner Dee Dee Hakun happily traded in tag #263 for Top Dog tag #1 for the year. Mark Winik, Branford resident and author of The Dog Healers, presented a personally signed copy of his book.
