It's National Pet Day!—A day devoted to people's love for their furry friends. In honor of today, Patch is inviting you to share photos of these special little guys.

Upload pics of your pets to our photo gallery, and tell us a little something about your furry (or not-so-furry if it's a goldfish, we're not discriminating) friend.

Don't forget to tell us the name of your pet, what makes your pet special to you and your name. If we get enough submissions, we'll hold a "cutest pet" contest on Friday.

To upload a photo of your pet, just click on the "Upload photos and videos" button on the top left of the screen under the headline. After you've uploaded your photo, leave us a comment and tell us how your pet got its name.

We leave you now with the top 10 names for male and female pets, according to petdayusa.com. Surprisingly enough, "Sparky" did not make either list.
