Today’s first Dog of the Day is Patti, submitted by Cindy Khoury of Ethics and Jeannene Khoury of the Osher Clinic. “Patti is a 14 year old Pomeranian who enjoys morning walks, snacks, and naps. She is the sweetest pup, an absolute angel.”
Today’s second Dog of the Day is Xander, submitted by Christine Rozsavolgyi of the Inpatient Float Pool. “Xander is a German shephard who we adopted at age 1. He loves being cuddled and can’t stand when he is not the center of attention.”
Pets of the Day — what you need to know
The Vanderbilt Health Pets of the Day are included in regular editions of the MyVUMC News newsletter, which is posted twice a week by Vanderbilt Health News and Communications.
The pets are selected from the hundreds of entries sent to the 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 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.
Patti and Xander were featured in the April 9, 2026, edition of MyVUMC News.
