Calling all dog lovers: National Dog Day returns on Aug. 26.

Dog News:

National Dog Day was founded by pet and family lifestyle expert and animal rescue advocate Colleen Paige in 2004. Along with many other dog-related holidays, National Dog Day is meant to bring attention to the animals suffering around the world and encourage people to adopt.

The canine celebration takes place on Aug. 26 each year, and for good reason — Paige adopted her first dog that day as a child.

But for many, dog day is every day. According to Forbes Advisor, dogs are the most popular pet in the U.S., with 65.1 million households that own one.

For many dog owners, hopefully their furry friend isn’t turning their passport into a gourmet meal two weeks before their wedding in Italy (if you’re reading this Chickie, you’re still a good boy).
