A COUNCIL has been named "top dog" for the way it looks after the canine population.
Hyndburn Council dog wardens have been given a special achievement award from the Mars Good Dog Campaign.
The council won for its "hugely successful" campaign to educate local dog owners on good pet ownership.
The campaign by Hyndburn's dog wardens has grown in six years since the founding of registered charity, Hyndburn Stray Dogs in Need.
Over 3,790 dogs have been successfully re-homed. Angie Philips of Mars Petcare UK said judges were particularly impressed by the Hyndburn team.
