Modern Dog & Modern Cat
Each year, America’s Favorite Pet has given one fine feline and one handsome hound the opportunity to shine on newsstands. In 2023, Hunter’s life was forever honored in print, while Oakley’s story of survival was shared with cat lovers across the nation. The 2024 top cat and dog will not only get prime real estate on the cover of Modern Cat and Modern Dog Magazines but also a two-page spread to highlight their own unique journeys.
