Calling all pet lovers!

Since June is “Make Your Pet A Star” month (National Special Events Registry) we are celebrating in what we think is a fun, purposeful and helpful way and invite you to join us.

Ongoing studies bring us more news about the positive affect pets can have on us at every age and for all walks of life. From the calming influence of a Guide Dog for autistic children and their family to the happiness-factor blood-pressure-reducing effect of visiting pet programs for the shut-ins in hospitals, retirement villas and nursing homes, the perceived and real value of our pets continues to increase.

One of our goals in this pet blog and on our main website at www.MillionDollarPetPix.com is to celebrate pets with pet lovers and pet owners around the world. To share stories, photos and information that celebrates the wonder of pets and that promotes responsible pet ownership in a fun and positive way.

This has also given the university much-needed celebrity as well. We’re thinking there may be more Zeekes in future classes…
