It’s National Dog Day

Happy National Dog Day!

On this day where humans celebrate us dogs, we only ask that you, humans, our Master, our carer, our provider, our protector, our world – be who we think you are.

And on this day, we also remember the many dogs who are not at home where they should be, the ones who are lost, who are hungry, and not so fortunate. We pray that they will each have a chance to experience the goodness of humans. Because we know that you are capable of loving us and that’s all we ask of you.

May’s comment:  A day to celebrate our loved ones and to remember the less fortunate.

“National Dog Day is celebrated August 26th annually and was founded in 2004 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige (also the founder of National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day and National Cat Day …to name a few).

National Dog Day serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges family dogs and 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.

National Dog Day is against any kind of “breed ban”. Dogs should not have to lose their lives because of the atrocities they have been forced to endure at the hands of man. And while we feel that American’s have the constitutional right to purchase a pure breed dog, we strongly discourage buying dogs from pet stores supplied by puppy mills, backyard breeders, the internet and newspaper ads. Rather, we encourage those seeking new canine companions, to consider choosing adoption first and if you’d like a pure breed dog, look into a pure breed rescue to see if they might have just the dog you’re looking for. …” – National Dog Day
