Reader’s Digest Hero Pets of the Year
My bad! I totally missed the boat on this one. Over the summer, Reader’s Digest ran a contest to find a winner for the award of Hero Pet of the year. Finalists included 2 dogs, 1 horse, 1 cat, and 1 parrot. No big surprise that one of the dogs won!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
