Killingworth Names Its Top Dogs for 2023

Submitted by Dawn Mooney, Killingworth Town Clerk

(July 29, 2023) — Have no fear, Killingworth. Super Gibson is here!  Gibson, a gentle and well-mannered black Lab mix, is Killingworth’s new top dog and SUPERHERO!

This thirteen-year-old was adopted from the Connecticut Humane Society in 2011 and has happily protected and comforted his loved ones ever since. Gibson’s superpower is clearly his “man’s best friend” attitude, dedicating his days to the spread of goodwill and cheer with every step he takes.

A wonderful companion, Gibson enjoys hiking with his mom, and his best doggie friend Becca. And he even goes so far as to jump into the shower with his mom to comfort and protect her (wink, wink) from the thunder and lightning that he so fears!  Gibson, the residents of Killingworth will sleep better knowing you are our SUPERHERO!

Harriet (above photo), a spunky eleven-month-old mini Australian Shepherd, bounded into Town Hall to claim her #2 prize with the energy and enthusiasm of a true puppy. Harriet, whose teeny tiny tail never stopped wagging, took control of the town clerk’s office and never looked back! It was easy to see that her SUPERPOWER is her ability to charm anyone and everyone she meets. And that’s exactly what landed her with her family in Killingworth… her dad took one look at her in a pet store and it was love at first sight! So it’s fitting that Harriet is now a Killingworth SUPERHERO!
