Odette, age 9, submitted this photo of Akira. Puppies and children continue to be a winning combination. We especially like the way this version makes Akira's smile pop.

Colorful pups
Last week, we asked the children of the Columbia Basin to try coloring Akira, our pet of the day last Wednesday. Ashlynn, 11, Odette, 9, and Teagan, 7, submitted these wonderful pictures with a bit of artistic flare. We really appreciate them sharing their artwork with us.
