Today’s Dogs of the Day are Hank and Dolly, submitted by Janet Fuller of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.
Today’s Cats of the Day are Whiskey Charley and Sigmund Freud, submitted by Joshua Kamradt of eStar Training and Delivery. “Sigmund Freud is the therapy cat in black and white, and the orange fuzzball is Whiskey Charley. Both were adopted from our local pet shelter. Sigmund has multiple thumbs on each paw, and Charley will actually come when someone calls out to him!”
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.
Hank, Dolly, Whiskey Charley and Sigmund Freud were featured in the Jan. 15, 2026, edition of MyVUMC News.
