We love our pets!

We love our pets for lots of reasons. Whether we live with a dog, cat, rabbit, rodent, bird, snake or other exotic animal, they often provide unconditional love, emotional support, and loyal companionship. They help us learn empathy and nurturing instincts. They offer physical, mental and social benefits. They help us feel young. They are uncomplicated. And we love them!

 

We invite you to be a part of our Big Pet Edition! Each summer we publish a very special pet edition that includes original stories from our reporters as well as reader submitted photos of their pets. This year’s edition will be published on July 20.

 

Details about submissions

 

If you’d like to have your pet included in this edition, please submit your photos with up to 50 words about your pet to sdetar@thedanielislandnews.com by Thursday, July 13, at 4 p.m.

By submitting photos, you agree that The Daniel Island News reserves the right to publish submitted photos in the Big Pet Edition and in future editions, as well as on social media.
