Paw Patrol

If joy had a soundtrack, it would be barks and belly rubs at Horizon West Pet Fest.

There are two types of people in the world: those who live with pets… and those who are blessed by them. From dogs who welcome you home like you’ve returned from war (after a 6-minute Publix run) to cats who tolerate your existence like you’re a slightly disappointing roommate, our animals bring joy, comedy, and respectable levels of chaos to daily life. So we grabbed our camera, followed the trail of tiny pawprints, and showed up at Horizon West’s Pet Fest—a blur of wagging tails, sweater-wearing supermodels, and enthusiastic humans who love them dearly. Ready your heart.
