PETS: Readers send in photos of their animals

“Hi, I’m Pismo Beck. I was given to my mom at 8 weeks old as a birthday present. Now, I don’t know if she knew it or not, but at that given time it was love at first sight. She agrees that I am the best watchdog in the world! I was named after our favorite beach in California. Me and my mom love going to all the different parks in Vegas. I love sliding down the tallest of slides. Mom has taught me to dance and to do every trick in the book. I am very smart and have trained my mom how to be patient. This is my best watchdog picture.” Submitted by Marilyn Beck, Las Vegas
