hil Melendez, of Fairview Park, sent us this photo of him and his dog, Gaston, a German shepherd last year. Melendez and his wife are helping in the first phase of Gaston's training to become a service dog for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. Gaston is expected to leave the Melendez household this year, when he's 18 months old, for his formal training. Send information about your special animal companion and a photo of the two of you to Linda Kinsey at [email protected].

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Do you have an animal companion that is special to you? We'd like to hear about it.

Tell us about your dog, cat, bird or reptile and send along a photo of the two of you. We want to hear about your furry or feathered friends. Tell us about their habits. What makes you laugh? What drives you crazy? But above all, what makes them special to you?

Send along a photo of the two of you. Feel free to include other family members, as well. Be sure to tell us your names and which community you live in.

Send your information and photos to Linda Kinsey at [email protected]. Submissions will be used in the Sun newspapers and on cleveland.com.
