The Peak’s pet contest: grand winners

The real winner is our Features editor, for getting an inbox flooded with pet pictures.

It’s no surprise that universities are welcoming cat and dog therapies on their campus and that dogspotting groups are flourishing on Facebook. Pet ownership has been linked to healthier owners, both physically, mentally, and emotionally. In case you missed October’s puppy therapy, we decided to print you a permanent version. You’re welcome. Thanks to everyone who sent us a picture of their pet!

Most liked on Facebook: Charlie

“Charlie is a 5 month old Lagotto Romagnolo, and this is him with his favorite toy, lambchop. Lambchop is no longer with us.. in fact.. most of his toys have not survived. Lagotto Romagnolo’s are Italian dogs (pretty rare in North-America) and they are specially bred to find truffles.”

 

Best dressed: Lala

“I like to steal people’s socks”

 

Most unique: Artemedes

“ball pythons such as this one curl up in a ball when they are scared.”

 

Peak favourite: Guinness

“He is 13 and has never met a body of water he didn’t like, he’s torn ligaments in both his hind legs so he has to wear his PFD (puppy floatation device) now.”

 

Best fun fact: Harlow

“She is a stray dog from the Himalayan region of India. And based on the laws there, Because she is born there she is legally allowed to buy land there.”

 

Most photogenic pet: Puck

“He is 9 years old, and named after a Shakespearean character. He can sit, stay, shake a paw, sit pretty, etc. when offered treats, and he was adopted off the streets as a kitten!”

 

Most Memeable pet: Pico

“I love SFU Physics”

At first we thought that not everybody could be a winner, but as it turns out, that’s a lie. Check out our humour section online to find out which award The Peak staff decided to bestow upon your lovely pet.

If your pet is featured on this page, you will receive an email from promotions@the-peak to arrange for your prize to be picked up! If you bring your pet to our office while doing so there is no extra prize, but we will be super happy about it.

By: Abbey Perley, Assistant Production Editor Aries March 21–April 19 Tangerine matcha latte Aries, tangerines may be as bright as you, but the novelty is getting a little out of hand. When was the last time you even ate a tangerine? This combination is what you thought could kickstart your summer, but all it will really do is stoke the thrill of being a trailblazer. At least you’ll know you’re meeting your Vitamin C intake. The stars are taking bets on if you’ll gatekeep this or make a TikTok about it (or both, somehow, for social validation).
