RICHMOND, Va. β The 2026 Richmond Animal League calendar is out now, featuring Walter the Weather Dog, the faithful companion of CBS 6 Chief Meteorologist Zach Daniel, on the cover.
Walter died in August after a brief battle with lymphoma, leaving his weather dog duties to his brother, Stanley.
Stanley stepped up to raise more than $23,000 for shelter dogs and cats in this year's calendar contest.
With help from CBS 6 anchor Julie Bragg, RAL surprised Zach with a "thank you" for all he and Walter did to raise funds for pets in need.
