A promotional graphic for the "Ruff on Lyme Event" during "VCU Research Week 2026." The image features a collage of five photos showing digital display screens. Four screens introduce dogs with their photos and names: "Meet Shiner" (an Australian Shepherd), "Meet Dunkin" (a black and white fluffy dog), "Meet Chef" (a white and brown speckled dog), and "Meet Homer" (a Golden Retriever). The fifth screen is yellow with the text "Ruff on Lyme" alongside logos for VCU School of Medicine, the Center for Human-Animal Interaction, and Zoetis.
