International Dog Day 2024

It is said that a dog is a faithful companion of man. Relatives and friends may deceive you, but a pet dog does not betray you. That’s why dogs are bred to guard the house. Like every year, today is a special day for dogs. Celebrated on 26 August, this day draws attention to the importance of dogs irrespective of species, size, breed. The purpose of today’s day is to spread awareness among people about adopting a four-legged friend instead of buying them from a pet shop.

History of International Dog Day

International Dog Day was founded in 2004 by Pet Lifestyle Expert and Colleen Page, an animal rescue advocate, dog trainer, and author. International Dog Day was organized for the first time on 26 August 2004. August 26 was chosen because it was on this day that the Paige family adopted their first dog at the age of ten. Colleen Page is also the founder of several days such as National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day, National Cat Day and National Wildlife Day.
