Today’s Dog of the Day is Cashew, submitted by Whitney Hill of eStar Training & Delivery. “We think he’s a mix of a Staffordshire bull terrier and an Australian cattle dog. We rescued him from the shelter where he had lived for over a year. As you can see from the photo, he LOVES to chase the sun and take naps. He’s a good boy!“
Today’s Cat of the Day is Sneaky Pete, submitted by Aileen Tackett of Patient Relations. “Good for guarding packages and loves human company.”
Pets of the Day — what you need to know
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pets of the Day are included in regular editions of the MyVUMC News newsletter, which is posted twice a week by VUMC News and Communications.
The pets are selected from the hundreds of entries sent to the VUMC Voice Pet Photo Contest.
For those who submitted a photo to that contest, watch MyVUMC News for Pets of the Day, and in addition, regular collections of pet photos are posted to the VUMC Voice site. You can see them all here: https://news.vumc.org/section/voice/pets-vumc/.
If you have a pet you would like to nominate for Pet of the Day, the next Pet Photo Contest submission period is coming up later this year, and will be announced in MyVUMC News.
Cashew and Sneaky Pete were featured in the Nov. 12, 2024, edition of MyVUMC News.
