Well super-dog fans, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to announce the winners of my New Year Quiz which, I’m happy to say, attracted a fantastic range of entries from far and wide.
If you remember (which might be difficult as some of the entries appear to have been submitted under the affluence of incohol) I asked you to help me track down titles of songs which I recorded during the lost years of my Winalot addiction.
For your delectation and delight here all the entries that made it through to the final round (swimwear and personality).

Hounds of Love (Kate Bush)
How Come There’s No Dog Day? (Tommy Cooper)
Johanna Cornelissen, Canada
The Dog Days are Over (Florence & The Machine)
Black Dog (Led Zeppelin)
Hair of the Dog (Nazareth )

Now That’s What I Call Dog #57 (Compilation)
Special mentions go to Ron Donaldson for best hair styling, Johanna Cornelissen for variety, Margaret Gearty for topicality, Karen Karp for ingenuity, and Sheelagh Wherity for obscure comedy.

Actually that might be a bit expensive, so the prizes will have to wait until my lawyer recovers my share of the royalties. In the meantime, let’s just say:
Everybody has won.
