2022 Holiday Pet Gallery: Reston Readers Share Beloved Pet Photos

RESTON, VA — 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 Reston and beyond to submit photos of their pets enjoying some special time with their human friends.
