International Dog Day 2021

Every year on August 26th, International Dog Day is observed throughout the globe. The day is celebrated to honor all dogs, regardless of breed, size, or shape. It is also observed to encourage people to adopt dogs rather than purchase them from pet stores.
Colleen Paige, a Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert, Animal Rescue Advocate, Conservationist, Dog Trainer, and Author, founded International Dog Day in 2004. On August 26, 2004, the first International Dog Day was celebrated.
Paige’s family adopted their first dog, a Sheltie, when he was ten years old, on August 26th.
Colleen Paige is also the founder of many such days like National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day, National Cat Day, and National Wildlife Day.
International Dog day is celebrated every year to raise awareness about the problems faced by dogs all around the world. Many dogs need to be rescued because people do not take appropriate care of them. Some are abused and some are even brutally killed. Also, the aim of International Dog day is to encourage people to take better care of their furry friends as they deserve a better life.
