(the) first

Can I use THE in the second sentence?

-There was a pet show yesterday. My dog was (THE) first again.

Thank you a lot!

A little revision will clarify and be more meaningful. My dog took/won first place again.

What about THE? Can I use it before the word FIRST or not?

There's no need for it in my suggestion, and I think it just gets in the way. Consider take first place a fixed phrase.
