This is my new best friend and dog Carly. She is special to me because she is very funny and she’s new to my family. She lets me dress her up and LOVES to sleep with people! Carly likes to play ball and fetch with me. If she sees cats, she will chase them and lick them. She likes to go where ever I go. She is almost potty trained. When I go to sleep, she wants to lay with me and she licks my face a lot! She also keeps in shape by chasing a laser light.

Pheona is a 3-year-old German shepard/corgi mix from the San Martin Shelter. She enjoys napping in the sun, swimming at the lake, eating cat poop and long walks on the beach. She's but a simple dog.

How can I tell anyone why my dog is my best friend? How can I even come close to why he is my best friend? He is an 8 1/2-year-old Australian shepherd.

Four months after my husband passed away from prostate cancer and leukemia, I had to have our 10-year-old black Lab put to sleep due to her increasing health problems. A couple of weeks later, I decided to go to the shelter in Atwater, where I was living at the time. (Just to look, of course!) That is where I met my Maggie Hope.

My grandson, 18-month-old Eiland Corwin Nelson, loves to nap with his auntie’s gentle St. Bernard, Macy. Macy was adopted from a shelter and she is very loving and gentle with kids and other dogs. We have other shelter dogs in our family and they have turned out to be absolutely wonderful! Eiland is our first grandchild and he really loves dogs.

We love our dog Benny because he's the sweetest and funniest dog ever. He loves everyone and always loves to give and receive lots of kisses. When Benny is out for a walk he likes to meet and greet new four-legged friends as well as those with just two legs. Benny loves to have the back of his ears and tummy rubbed. When he sees another dog on television he jumps up and starts barking as if the other dog can hear him. Benny also barks at balloons because he doesn't understand why they're moving. We love that Benny always follows Daddy around the house and sleeps under his desk. Benny loves to snuggle on the couch, but doesn't like to get his teeth brushed. He's a part of our family and we love him very much.

And weighing in at a staggering 20 pounds, please welcome, TomTom the bichon! Our little bundle of puppy love was born Sept. 22, 2011. This day changed our lives forever.

Hello my name is Reyna Padron and I am 7 years old. Two months ago I got my puppy Mally. She is a Maltion. She is half Maltese and Papillon. She loves me a lot. She sleeps in my room every night inside a crate. That makes me feel safe.

My dog Smoochie goes above and beyond being my best friend, he's also my service dog.

Lucy, our 10-month-old terrier mix, and Rigby, our 12-week-old Lab/terrier mix, were named after songs by The Beatles.
