Today’s Dog of the Day is Leonard Graham, submitted by Michael Hook of Pediatrics. “At 15 years old, Leonard Graham still enjoys adventure such as a hike, car rides, or defending his kingdom from all manner of invaders, be it the bunny in the yard or the squirrel burying nuts in the flower bed.”
Today’s Cat of the Day is Legolas, submitted by Tina Ragsdale of OB/GYN. “He is the newest addition to our family and is the sweetest boy.”
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.
Leonard Graham and Legolas were featured in the Sept. 25, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
