Always one of our favorite! And most everyone knows how much we dote over our four-legged companions, so again this year, we asked you, our readers to send us your most adorable pet pics and we picked winners. The cover shot is our First Place winner, “Kennedy with Towel”! Check out the 2nd and 3rd place winners, along with an Honorable Mention, on page 25. A huge, special thanks to everyone that participated!

We have gathered some fun and interesting stories for this issue to go along with the photo contest, don’t worry. There is dog park happenings, rescue services and new systems to help you find your pet, if they should run astray.

As usual, Chris Narloch has outdone himself bringing you fun, seasonal things to do and see. Plus there are pics from the third Decades Dance Party that was held at Sidetrax. Check ‘em out on page 18.

This super-fun issue is on newsstands now, and available to read and download, for free, online.

Enjoy!
