Today’s Dog of the Day is Rosie, submitted by Mackenzie Paris of 9 North VUH. “Rosie is a rescue who spent the first few weeks of her life living in the woods after she and her brothers were dumped there. She is my feral girl! She has acclimated very well to life indoors and loves to snuggle. She still enjoys snacking on dirt occasionally when she is outside (much to my dismay as she is a white dog). She is the sweetest girl, and she loves talking to us!“
Today’s Horse of the Day is Ranger, submitted by Kacy Whittenburg of Regional Nurse Education at Vanderbilt Bedford Hospital. “Ranger is a handsome morgan and the leader of our small herd.”
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.
Rosie and Ranger were featured in the Nov. 25, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
