ARE THEY NOW?

Addie

Cover: January 2009

Addie is actually the inspiration for our Where Are They Now feature! Her mom, Marti, sent us a photo of Addie and the cover to show us she was still a beautiful girl and we decided what a great idea to check in with some past cover models! Mom says that although Addie is a senior pup with a grey muzzle and a few health problems, she still has the same spirit as she did on the cover. You Rock Addie!

Bubbles

Cover: November 2019

Bubbles, who is now 6 yrs. old, has become quite the celeb! In addition to her cover with PetTalk, her story is also revealed in a children’s book. Surviving animal abuse and going on to find a loving home, Bubbles is also a certified therapy dog who loves to visit hospitals, schools or anywhere else to read her book to children. She is also on a commercial for West Houston Subaru supporting their Underdog campaign.

Buddy

Cover: March 2013

As a young pup 10 years ago, Buddy graced our cover for the annual dog training issue. What a sweet face! Ten years later, Buddy is enjoying a leisurely life with his backyard pool and like most dogs, enjoys yummy treats and a good power nap. There is a rumor that Buddy is known as the Master-Sniffer of the neighborhood....who can blame him? So many smells, so little time!

Chase

Cover: September 2020

Chase is still as handsome as ever, appearing on our cover in 2020 AND he just appeared in our May issue featuring canine breeds from around the world. In addition to his good looks, he is a good sport that lives with "a lot" of other pups. His parents, Bruce and Shelby, are untiring supporters of animal rescue and let's just say they have saved tons of animals and "kept a few". Kudos to them for supporting animals! Chase's main love is walks. He has perfected his stare that he employs until the walk occurs. He definitely has figured out what he wants and how to get it!

Freedom

Covers: January 2018 & July 2020

Freedom is a two-time cover model! He first appeared in 2018 when we shared his story of Abused to Adored, the details of his rescue and journey. He also was a fabulous model for our July patriotic issue, adorned with the American flag and red/white/blue feathers. He was such a good sport for all of the photo sessions. He has since moved from a boarding facility to live with his rescue mom, where she got him a buddy named Apache, also a rescue. They are both living a great life with a beautiful pasture, lots of love from mom and dad and they are learning clicker training.

Hero

Cover: January 2020

Hero appeared on our cover in 2020 with his mom, Dr. Jennifer Hennessey for our "explore your passion" feature story. Hero definitely hit the jackpot with his mom, who is not only a veterinarian (she is the founder of Animal ER of Northwest Houston), but she also founded Wonder Pet Rehab & Recovery, a physical rehabilitation clinic for pets, which probably explains what Hero is doing in a water treadmill. No worries about aging for Hero, he's got his own Dr. and Rehab!
