Like pets? So do our July ArtHop participants!

In May and again in June, we asked readers to send us their best pet portraits for the July ArtHop show at The Fresno Bee.

We received more than 175 entries.

We narrowed the field down to 50 of the best images and had them printed for display at The Bee, where they are available for viewing weekdays through the end of July.

We also made a winner’s slide show so we could share the images with you.

But there were so many good runners-up that we had to share them, too!

Enjoy this glimpse at Valley readers’ love of their cats, dogs, horses and chickens.
