August 26 – National Dog Day

Posted August 26, 2013

This day is a celebration of all dogs—pedigreed purebred dogs as well as “mutts”—and holiday originators urge us to either purchase dogs from reputable breeders or adopt dogs from rescue organizations or pounds. In other words, no puppy mills!


How will you celebrate National Dog Day? Will you give your dog a spa treatment or a special meal? Will you outfit your dog with a t-shirt that matches your own tee? Will you stoop for a photo shoot or take an extra-long walk with your dog?

Those who don't own a dog can still donate money to humane societies or rescue shelters.

Read, or watch, or sing!

One way of celebrating dogs is to enjoy some of the art and movies, songs and books created about dogs. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

Favorite dog movie: Lady and the Tramp











Favorite dog book: The Incredible Journey, by Sheila Burnford

(Favorite book with dog as a supporting character: One Is One, by Barbara Leonie Picard. Warning: it's a super sad book! But I loved it as a child!)

Favorite dog song: I Wanna Be a Dog 

Favorite dog art: colorful dog portraits by Michel Keck and Heather Galler

  1. My name is hoover, my 18 years old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed of herpes 3 years ago. ever since then,we have been going from one hospital to the other. We tried all sorts of pills but all efforts to get rid of the virus was futile. The blisters kept on reappearing after some months. My daughter was making use of Acyclovir tablets 200mg. 2 tablets every 6hours and fusitin cream 15grams. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied 2x a day but all still show no result. So I was on the internet some months back, to sought for any other means of saving my only child. just then, i came across a comment on dr imoloa herbal treatment and decided to give it a try. i contacted the him and he prepared some herbs and sent it to me together with guidelines on how to use the herbs through DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed dr imoloa and in less than 14days, my daughter regained her health..
