Zachary
4-year-old Labradoodle
Human mom. Sandi Parkans
Funniest behavior. He does crazy zombies after he goes potty...EVERYTIME!
Most endearing trait. He jumps up on the couch beside me and paws my leg constantly until I put a hand on him. As soon as I move my hand, the paw starts again.
For me, my pet is unconditional love and glorious peace.
Sammi
5-year-old Heinz-57 rescue dog
Piper
10-month-old Labradoodle
Human mom. Shelly Eby
Funniest behavior. Sammi is a supreme howler, while Piper is a Gladys Kravitz—nosy and always looking out the window.
Most endearing trait. Sammi is just sweet all around. First thing in the morning she's wagging her tail at me. Piper just sits and stares at me like I'm her everything.
For me, my pets are my world. They have gotten me through some very rough times, and I'd be lost without them.
