Each week, we publish a new slideshow of freshly picked pet photos.

In this week's Friday Pet Photos feature, we thought we would include some photos of our readers' pets taken by children.

One area reader's photo captures a very curious kitten who decided to take an opportunity to explore inside the enclosure of his housemate, a young bearded dragon!

Click on the slideshow below to view the photos and captions for each.

Would you like to see your pet in an upcoming Friday Pet Photos feature? It's easy!

Simply email a new photo of your pet, whether they be furry, feathered or otherwise, anytime during the week to ppsa2mi@gmail.com. Be sure the photo is at least 600 pixels wide and in .jpg format — and don't forget to include the animal's name, age and city or township of residence in your email.

We compile each week's photos into a slideshow, which we publish on Fridays here in the Pets section, so check back each week to see a new gallery.
