More than 125 clients of the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital submitted nearly 350 entries of their furry, hairy, scaly and feathery friends for the 2014 Picture Your Pet Photo Contest. The entries were divided into four categories (cats, dogs, horses and miscellaneous pets) and critiqued by a panel of judges. The finalists were chosen based on overall photo quality, creativity and the sense of emotion and/or personality exhibited.
Among this year’s winners are: Tango, a horse owned by Samantha Barton of Colbert; Cartman, a turtle owned by Wai Hung of Athens; Riker, a puppy owned by Justin and Shana Biggs of Athens; Aurelius, a cat owned by Leo Sage of Athens; and Sophie, a dog owned by Holly Downey of Atlanta.
