Kelyna Côté Dupuis hugs her pet guinea pig. Kelyna and her sister Erika are well-prepared pet owners. They have books on how to care for their furry companions. In addition, they have set up a comfortable environment for their guinea pigs, complete with an exercise pen, cozy hideaway houses, an array of chewable toys, food, water, and a daily dose of vitamin C. Most importantly, their guinea pigs receive abundant love and attention. (Photo by Lise Lafond)
