Today’s first Dog of the Day is Dino, submitted by Jacqueline Lorusso of Ophthalmology. “He loves big sticks and he cannot lie! He is your typical German shepherd who loves following your every move.”
Today’s other Dogs of the Day are the group described as Hannah and the Low Riders, submitted by James Shaffer of Radiology at Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital.
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.
Dino and Hannah and the Low Riders were featured in the Feb. 17, 2026, edition of MyVUMC News.
