RICHMOND, Va. -- On Virginia This Morning, viewers were introduced to Harry, a gentle and lovable golden doodle nominated for the 2026 Pet Partners Pet of the Year Contest by his owner Jake, a Pet Partners member since 2022.
Pet Partners registers a variety of therapy animals — from dogs and cats to llamas, bunnies, alpacas, and even miniature ponies — all with the mission of improving human health and well-being. The annual contest not only celebrates these amazing animals but also raises funds to help Pet Partners continue their important work.
The contest runs from March 2 through April 13, 2026, with Jake fundraising for Harry through outreach to friends and family. Every donation helps support therapy animal visits and services for those who need them most.
