All-American Pet Photo Day!

July 11, 2016 is All-American Pet Photo Day.  salineriverchronicle.com understands the importance of a pet.  They bring us great joy, protect us, keep us company, save lives, and so much more.  It has been scientifically proven that petting a dog can lower blood pressure. Service dogs do all kinds of wonderful things for people from helping the visually impaired to detecting and alerting others to their owner's medical needs.

Many people own cats and find them to be great companions.  Others have more exotic pets such as iguanas or tarantulas.  Others like the fish in the aquarium.

I'm asking that you join me in submitting your pet's photo to honor him or her for his part in your life on All-American Pet Photo Day.
