Today’s Dog of the Day is Chewy, submitted by Trish Deck of Human Resources. “Chewbacca (Chewy) is a Rottweiler with the energy of a Jack Russell terrier (if you know, you know). Pictured here after bath time, he is the single happiest creature to grace our planet. Chewy lives for someone – anyone – to throw the ball for him endlessly.”
Today’s Cat of the Day is Jack, submitted by Barbara Martin of Quality, Safety and Risk Prevention. “22-year-old Jack is still happy, healthy and active. He’s a fantastic 5 a.m. alarm clock, too!”
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.
Chewy and Jack were featured in the Jan. 2, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
