And that day is August 26th, National Dog Day! What better way to honor dogs?
This day was created by Colleen Paige, pet expert and author, to not only recognize pet dogs, but also the number of dogs that need to be rescued and the dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort.
“Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage, saving their lives and often grieving the dead and dying they cannot save,” Paige said.
Be sure to give your pet a little extra love or treats tomorrow!
How do you plan to celebrate National Dog Day?

1We took our dog, Cinco, to the beach. He’s a very active five year old 22 lb min poodle. He dug holes, chased waves and birds, swam, watched the children swimming, and dined on fresh turkey and while wheat crackers. Then slept in the shade under our beach chairs, tired and happy.
