Good Pets: Summertime Fun

There’s no better way to enjoy the season than a little time outdoors with your favorite four-legged (or feathered) friend.

The dog days of summer are here, thankfully.

Yes, we know, it took long enough. Frankly, we were inundated with cute photos. We asked for your best Good Pets pics celebrating the season, and you responded with more than 700 submissions in all. In the galleries ahead, you’ll see we did our best to complete an impossible task – reflect as many wonderful photos as we can showing our four-legged (and feathered) friends enjoying the summer season.

So get ready for cuteness galore with some of the best dog, cat, goat, chicken and horse photos you’ve seen.

And thanks to all of you for the tremendous choices.
