Free dog treats!

Pet Show is ready to celebrate the holidays! We’re having a photo contest through New Years’ Day! Here’s the deal -

* Email holiday pictures of your pet to ccoppernoll@opubco.com this month. We need the pet’s name, your name, your address, your phone number and a description of what your pet is doing, if that’s possible.

* Every person who enters at least one photo will be put in the drawing for this amazing prize pack! The bags, shown, here are packed full of great treats from brands like Milk Bone, Pup Peroni, Wholesome Medley and Meow Mix. (Thanks to the great folks at Del Monte for providing the prize pack!)

* Only one entry per person, but you can submit any many pictures as you want!

* The deadline for entry is noon Jan. 1.

* The Pet Show crew will draw the name of the winner at random Jan. 2.

* The odds of winning depend on the number of entries. The odds of receiving unconditional love from your pet this holiday season: 100 percent.

* We’ll post the best photos on our blog right after we draw the winner.

* Good luck!

 So, where did this all come from? The crew over at Del Monte are having a special fundraiser that helps pets in need. They’re donating $1 for every person who tells them why his/her pet is great. Really? Yes. All you have to do is go to their site, Power of Paws, and talk about how great your pet is. We all know how easy that is to do. So far, more than 5,000 people have done it. That’s a $5,000 donation just for bragging. So go add your story to the pile!
