"We know that there are countless families that consider their pets to be their children, siblings or confidantes," said Joshua Fried, Director of Petside.com. "The Pet 'Net Family Event recognizes and celebrates the loving, active and important role pets play in our families."

The inaugural Pet 'Net Event successfully launched in October 2008, with more than a dozen websites raising awareness about animal shelter adoption.  The event took place again in 2009 with a focus on Pet Safety.  This year, participating writers will focus their efforts on honoring pets as not just animal companions, but true members of the family. Topics covered will range from adoption to the human-animal bond, to mourning the passing of a beloved pet.  Sites slated to participate in the third annual event include:
