ORLANDO, Fla. – National Dog Day is coming up on Monday, so show us your canine companion with PinIt! and we might even put them on TV!
Colleen Paige founded National Dog Day in 2004 and chose Aug. 26 because that was the date her family adopted their first dog, Sheltie, when Paige was 10 years old, according to her website. The “howliday” celebrates all dogs and has had a mission this last 20 years to recognize and address how many are in need of rescuing, the website states.
We want to help you celebrate your four-pawed pals by showcasing them on our platforms!
