Does Your Dog Have Spokesdog Star Potential?

Registration opens today for the 2012 Philly Water's Best Friend Spokesdog Competition. The Philadelphia Water Department is looking for two eco-friendly dogs—one in Northern Liberties and one in Queen Village—to help keep Philly's waterways clean by educating the public about proper disposal of pet waste. "Doo" the right thing: Always pick up after your pet and never put pet waste in a storm drain.

To read about the prizes, perks and contest guidelines, check out the Spokesdog page, where you can find out more about the competition and enter your dog. Registration is open until Feb. 15, and the finalists will compete in a judging and awards ceremony in their respective neighborhoods.
