Some of our best neighbors aren’t even human. So, once a year we take time to honor those wet-nosed, droopy-eyed, fur-covered beasts next door who — let’s face it — pretty much run the house.

We’re not talking just cats and dogs, though. We know Preston Hollow is home to myriad species that bring joy to our lives. Guinea pigs, ferrets, parakeets, ducks, horses, you name it. Our fur-less, cold-blooded creatures count, too.

For a chance to see your pet on the cover and within the pages of our September issue, send us your best photos and the story behind your animal companion along with your zip code to editor@advocatemag.com.
