Today’s Cat of the Day is Tiger, submitted by Roger Bostian of VUMC IT.
Today’s Dog of the Day is Leo, submitted by Nika Battle of the VUH 5 South Cardiovascular Step Down Unit. “Leo is a three-year-old miniature schnauzer. I adopted him when he was two months old, and we have had many adventures since then. We have driven across the country twice, and his favorite activity is visiting beaches in different states. This picture shows him frolicking on Ocean Beach in San Francisco.”
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.
Tiger and Leo were featured in the Aug. 7, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
