2022 Holiday Pet Gallery: Rockville Readers Share Beloved Pet Photos

ROCKVILLE, MD — Celebrating the holidays is about getting together with the ones you live. That includes sharing some time with your favorite furry friend.

Patch asked its readers in Rockville and beyond to submit photos of their pets enjoying some special time with their human friends.

Here are some of the photos we received of the 2022 Holiday Pet Gallery:
