Laura Hirth of Harleysville, Pa. placed third in Pets with this photo of her OTB thoroughbred Petey and her Australian shepherd.

"They look like they're talking to each other," said Hirth.

"I've had Petey for four years, and I trail ride him," said Hirth. "He loves dogs. I have six Australian shepherds. Ryder is an elite trick dog. He did tricks like opening a gate, getting my boots and riding a skateboard for the competiton. He also did agility."
