January Pet of the Month Winner 2026

Cochise Lyon, the three-year-old Great Pyrenees and half Doberman mix, knows how to keep warm during the polar vortex of 2026 – wrapped in his favorite blanket and taking a nap! Now all he needs is a delicious snack from Better Made Snack Foods. Mark Lyon of Canton, OH submitted this January 2026 winning photo of Cochise and will receive a freshly made sampler box of delicious Better Made Snack Foods products. “Cochise Lyon loves keeping warm, watching dogs on TV, and sharing a couple Better Made Peanut Butter Pretzels,” says Mark. “We got him as a rescue pup three years ago and he is part of our family. He loves children and playing with other dogs. His favorite place to sleep? Under the Christmas tree with his favorite stuffed toy!”
