National Dog Day
August 22, 2009
August 26 is National Dog Day. Started by self-styled “pet lifestyle expert”/interior designer Colleen Paige, National Dog Day is intended to raise awareness of all the ways in which dogs enrich our lives, and to get people to donate to shelters. The organizers’ website encourages people to host a variety of events to celebrate, including dog costume parties, adoption fairs, or buy things from their sponsors such as photo sessions, boutique items and treats. Hmmmmm … They also created National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day and National Pet Day. Sounds like a marketing machine over there. Oh, well. We’ll do our part. FunStuffForDogs.com offers a coupon code worth 20% off any purchase of $25 or more. Enter coupon code NATIONALDOGDAY during checkout.
I feel better already.

Good to know! I will definitely take advantage of that coupon code, and I am all about raising awareness for dogs in shelters. That is truly heartbreaking.

I think for the one’s wanting to have a new dog they should not buy one but get the same cute puppy at the shelter. Spread the love!

good to hear about that, it will increase the awareness of man to animals, specially dogs, cause it can somehow protect them from other abuser of animals.
