While Norman may be the top dog in Canton, he's just one of three in his household, which he shares with his "brothers," Stanley and Harold, according to the town clerk's office.
For his new title, Norman received a goody bag full of fun toys and treats.
No word on whether he plans to share them with his brothers.
