Not every pet can win big like Cynthia Childrey's Abby, the 4-year-old smooth collie who recently won the Best of Breed at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. But Inside NAU wants to share photos of the pets who have won your hearts.

Inside NAU is seeking photos to run in a new series featuring readers and their pets.

"A shared interest and devotion to pets has been a great way for me to connect with others on campus over the years," said Childrey, dean of Cline Library.

Your pet doesn't have to be a dog to have its day. Send us photos of your cats, salamanders, pigs, horses, snakes, birds, spiders and more. Please include yourself in the photo and identify you and your pet by name and species. E-mail photos to Inside@nau.edu.
