Where is Fido top dog?

Dog Fancy, which claims to be the world's most widely read dog magazine, has named Provincetown, Mass., the winner of the 2010 DogTown USA competition, saluting it as America's most dog-friendly city.

This year's contest named the Top 40 dog-friendly cities across the U.S. in honor of Dog Fancy's 40th anniversary celebration. The criteria used to select the winning city include plenty of dog-friendly open spaces and dog parks, events celebrating dogs and their owners, ample veterinary care, abundant pet supply and other services, and municipal laws that support and protect all pets.

Rounding out the top 10 cities are:

• Carmel, Calif.
• Madison, Wis.
• Benicia, Calif.
• Fort Bragg, Calif.
• Lincoln City, Ore.
• San Diego, Calif.
• Virginia Beach, Va.
• Sioux Falls, S.D.
• Salem, Ore.

The September issue of Dog Fancy (on newsstands July 27,) has the entire list.
