Celebrate the animals that make life better with Our Pets, Cape Gazette’s annual publication dedicated to the companions, stories, and moments that bring joy to homes across the Cape Region.

This year’s edition shines a spotlight on The Cape’s Cutest Pet photo contest and its winner, Lucy Moose, whose story and personality captured the hearts of the Cape Gazette staff. Alongside Lucy Moose’s feature, readers can enjoy some of the contest’s most memorable submissions, from playful pups and photogenic felines to a few unexpected and unforgettable entries that celebrated the love people have for the animals they call family.

Readers will also meet Cape Gazette photographer Dan Cook and his wife, Sherri, through a heartfelt feature about how a simple act of volunteering turned into a life devoted to helping rescue dogs through Grass Roots Rescue. Alongside their story, Our Pets explores the many ways animals shape everyday life, from celebrating milestones with beloved companions and designing pet-friendly spaces to traveling with pets, discovering helpful gadgets, and highlighting the healing comfort animals bring to the people who love them.

Produced by the same local team readers rely on for daily news and community coverage, Our Pets brings together heartwarming stories, practical ideas, and trusted local businesses that support the pet-loving lifestyle of coastal Delaware.
