Pup by the pier
Susan “Tootie” Patrick of Anna Maria is the winner of The Islander’s 2023 Top Notch Pet Photo Contest for her image of “Blue” taking a pause in a January walk near the Anna Maria City Pier. Patrick says the bayfront walk is a daily routine for her and the dog. The photographer and her dog win a gift bag of pet goodies donated by Pets Life Naturally of Palmetto.
