Alicia McLemore/West Monroe, Louisiana
TUCKER AND BELLE
Mr. DeMille, Big Tucker and little Belle are ready for their close-ups. They became fast friends the moment they met, but were actually raised apart.

Making the story even sweeter, their humans soon started dating and became man and wife, bringing Tucker and Belle together.

PRINCE
This adorable canine is ready to trim the tree. Anyone need any help?
Nilofer Dhani/Peachtree City, Georgia

This is Bella Girl in her Christmas sweater, which reads, “Dear Santa, define good.” It’s a fitting phrase from this feline who loves to test gravity each and every day.
Sarah Mosley/Pensacola, Florida
