SPOONER, Wis. — The National Pet Hall of Honor recognizes and celebrates our pet friends with a framed certificate of induction into the Pet Hall of Honor and their own web page with photos and story.

These "everyday pets" may never make the headlines with a heroic deed or win a ribbon to gain the national spotlight, but they have a place in our hearts forever. Now, they also have a place in the Pet Hall of Honor, where pets are recognized for the everyday actions and affections as our pet companions. Induction into the Pet Hall of Honor for the pet lover in your life is available at www.pethallofhonor.com.

"The National Pet Hall of Honor is a fun place to view pet photos and read stories that range from hilarious to heartwarming," said Jeanne Joyce, CEO of the National Pet Hall of Honor. "It's really a reflection of how we feel about our pets today. Placement in the Hall of Honor is a source of joy while the pet is alive and can be a very meaningful way to grieve the loss of a pet."

The Pet Hall of Honor is a web site featuring individual pet photos and stories from pet owners across the country. Each pet, whether furry or scaly, is featured in the Hall of Honor by species and breed. Pets featured in the Hall of Honor are for both living pets and as a memorial to pets that have passed on.

Pet lovers can also browse the site for pet-related retail and online stores, learn more about pet-friendly hotels, submit photos for monthly photo collage themes, and learn more about animal causes around the country.

Sixty-three percent of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 69.1 million homes according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association's 2005/2006 National Pet Owners Survey.

(Induction in the Pet Hall of Honor with framed certificate and web page for photos and story ranges from $29.95 to $89.95. Details at www.pethallofhonor.com.)
