The Richmond Sentinel is pleased to present PETS. We'll share readers' stories and photos of their lovable companions. Send your submissions to newsroom@richmondsentinel.ca


Frankie: Island cat

We love Frankie so much. He was found alone, on a farm in Richmond, when he was six weeks old. Now, he’s enjoying life on Gabriola. He goes everywhere with us—even rides on a motorcycle—and I love that he feels the same way about my husband’s driving as I do.

Cola: dependable companion

I love Cola because he’s always by my side, through the all the good and the bad.

• Sheryl Ng


Chicago: teaching trust

I've been leasing Chicago for the past two years. He is an amazing partner to work with.

With horses, you have to invest a lot of time to win their trust. So, every little bit of affection they show is hard fought. Winning their trust teaches you so much about respect.

I'm so grateful to have Chicago in my life. He's cuddly, affectionate and gets excited to jump—his energy level changes when he is enjoying himself. I also love his playful, silly side.
