Today’s Dog of the Day is Boone, submitted by Mary Ahlert of PACU/Pre-Op.
Today’s second Dog of the Day is Ace, submitted by Lindsey Jett of Quality, Safety and Risk Prevention. “Ace is a 5 year old mixed breed that rescued me. He loves to fetch balls in the backyard and go for rides in the car. The closet is his safe space when he is fearful or anxious, but he’s mostly a happy boy with a big smile on his face!”
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.
Boone and Ace were featured in the Nov. 18, 2025, edition of MyVUMC News.
