🖼️ The 2026 RAL Calendar isn’t just a way to keep track of the days. It’s a celebration of love, legacy, and the pets who inspire us.

Walter the Weather Dog, our cover star, shines bright thanks to his brother Stanley’s record-breaking campaign. Inside, you’ll find Stanley and the rest of our Top 12, each month highlighting a pet who helped make this year’s contest our biggest yet.

Whether it’s for your home, office, or as a gift, it’s a piece of art that gives back.
