This latest Pet of the Day spotlight shines brightly on Lily and her dog Dixie —who are the very definition of sibling energy! Congratulations to Amanda, whose heart-warming photo of these two earned her a prize pack from LR Horse and Pet! 

Lily and Dixie are the same age and share a bond that’s as real as it gets. One minute, you might catch them arguing like siblings, and the next, they’re hugging it out like best friends.

Amanda’s sweet submission captured the ups, downs, and snuggles that make the pet-human bond so special—and so relatable!
