We are first year vet students at LSU’s Vet School. We are a class of 200 students from 60 states or countries. As a BIG class we have a lot of unique interests, talents, and of course pets! This competition is for the benefit of the class of 2029 who will be creating (and funding) the 2026 Aesculapian Ball; however, we hope to use this platform to get to know those around us which is why we have decided to let anyone enter and vote. 

Good Luck to all who enter, and we can’t wait to see who has the cutest pets!
