Dogsey

We all know about things like Father’s Day and Mother’s Day, Columbus Day, and many other holidays that celebrate all manner of things. Some strange, so not quite as. So it only stands to reason that we have a special day to celebrate man’s best friend, and longtime companion, the dog.

The “holiday” is also known as National Dog Appreciation Day, and takes place on the 26th of August. It’s been an officially recognized holiday in existence since 2004

“I want this to be a day to encourage dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure – to help abolish puppy mills and end breed specific legislation, so we can create a world where all dogs (and every other animal) can live a happy, safe and abuse-free life,” said the founder of National Dog Day Colleen Paige.
