Get Outside and Play With Your Pet

(iWitness contributor DonL)

Believe it or not, our pets aren't that much different from us. When it is cold and wet outside, they would much rather stay indoors. But when that springtime warmth comes with plenty of sunshine, you'd better believe that they want to get outside and play!

We browsed through our Pets section of iWitness and found some of our favorite pictures of cats and dogs enjoying an array of outdoor activities. From sunbathing and swimming to running and rafting, these pictures will inspire you to get outside and play with your pet.
