Today’s Dog of the Day is Spot, submitted by Starr Hollyfield of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology. “Spot showed up as a stray and is scared of the dark and loud noises. He’s never far from my side and loves walks and when I work from home. He’s been the sweetest addition to our pack.”
Today’s Cat of the Day is Rey, submitted by Elian Cox of Spiritual and Pastoral Care. “Rey fancies being the center of attention, especially in the evening when you’re enjoying ‘Jeopardy.'”

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.
Spot and Rey were featured in the March 25, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
