Today’s Dog of the Day is Ivy Eugenia, submitted by Dana Johnson of the VUH Transition Management Office. “Ivy Eugenia is a British Lab who loves water, especially when there are added bubbles. She makes us laugh especially when so looks like Santa!”

Today’s second Dog of the Day is Hazel, submitted by Courtney Rivera of Referral Management.
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.
Ivy Eugenia and Hazel were featured in the May 14, 2026, edition of MyVUMC News.
