Today’s Cat of the Day is Dango, submitted by Chloe Serafin of 9 Peds in the Doctors’ Office Tower. “Dango is three and a half years old. He has four other pet siblings (all cats). He is always attached to me. Everywhere I am in our apartment, he is right by my side. He has been the most wonderful addition to our home. He loves to play with his cat siblings and he loves to pose for photos!“
Today’s Dog of the Day is Walker, submitted by Taylor Patterson of Urology. “Walker’s special talent is stealing people food when they are not looking.”
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.
Dango and Walker were featured in the Feb. 18, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
