Today’s first Dogs of the Day are Sven and Finn, submitted by Kaitlyn Anderson of Project Management. “At Steeplechase.”
Today’s second Dogs of the Day are Prudence and Bella, submitted by Jacey Marshall of Medicine. “Prudence (right) and Bella (left) were both rescues from Columbia, Tennessee. They both love to dig in the trash and pull dishes out of the sink, and Bella’s party trick is climbing the fence. They like to keep things exciting.”
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.
Sven, Finn, Prudence and Bella were featured in the Jan. 20, 2026, edition of MyVUMC News.
