The serotonin that dogs and puppies give us truly cannot be overstated. Their little paws! Those little tongues! The big hearts that just want to love you above all else! It’s all too much. Since my roommate got her first dog, Trixie the Cavoodle, my quality of life has improved exponentially just because every day I’m greeted with a flurry of kisses and hugs when I walk through the door. In my mind, every day is National Dog Day.
While some of us — including me — believe in celebrating dogs every single day of the year, August 26 is officially National Dog Day. Invented as a day to focus on philanthropic causes impacts pooches worldwide, it’s the perfect time to think of dogs in need. We all want our own dogs to live spoiled, cushie lives, but in reality, there are many dogs who don’t have that lifestyle. They’ve been abused, neglected, abandoned, malnourished and worse, and National Dog Day is all about righting those wrongs.
You can spend National Dog Day spoiling your pup (like you needed another excuse to buy them a new toy), but it’s important to think about the dogs that aren’t as lucky as yours. With Play For Purpose, you can give back to the lil’ floofs that give so much to us and go in the draw with a chance to win a share in $300,000 worth of amazing prizes.
