GalleyCat readers around the globe have joined our annual Pet Parade, sending photos of their literary pets.

Author Karen Mueller Bryson, Ph.D. submitted that picture of a literary bloodhound.

More photos follow below–we will collect all the entries at this link.

Author Alissa Grosso.com sends this picture: “I think it is immediately apparent that Autumn is helping me work on my next novel. When she disapproves she merely rolls over a little so that she hits that blue power button and turns the computer off.”

ReadHowYouWant publisher representative Bradi Grebien-Samkow wrote: “I’d like to submit the attached photo of my puppy Llosa (named after Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa) for your Pet Parade! She thinks that if she sits on my laptop case, then she’s helping me get work done.”

Gigi Reynard submitted that photos of Emmy and Macy.

Journalist Thelma Chang wrote: Beauty is an abandoned cat I rescued from the bushes during one of my daily walks after I’ve completed a story.

Carol George from Sydney, Australia writes: “here’s my cat Lily, trying to look cute after being very naughty.”
