National Dog Day
National Dog Day celebrates the bond between canine and man.
You can take the time to be grateful for the value and love that dogs bring into our lives and do your part to help homeless and abused dogs around the globe. Dogs do so much for us humans. They keep us safe and support people with disabilities, blindness, deafness, or other impairments.
National Dog Day was created to celebrate all dog breeds, pure and mixed. This day is meant to inspire the public to recognize the need for rescue on a regular basis from rescues and pure breed rescuers.
This day is dedicated to paying tribute to the incredible animals that sacrifice their lives to save lives, comfort us, and keep us safe. These animals risk their lives every day. Dogs that detect drugs and bombs and rescue victims from disasters and other dangerous situations are some of the many dogs that help us to be safe and free. We also have dogs for the blind and disabled as well as law enforcement. These dogs, from our family friends to the heroic ones, hold special places in our hearts. It is right that we pay tribute.
Let’s look at some amazing facts about dogs that will help us understand these incredible creatures better. For example, the African Hunting Dog is the most successful hunter on the planet. They are successful in between 50 and 70 percent of their hunts. This breed holds the Guinness World Record. The Saluki is the oldest dog breed and holds another Guinness World Record. This breed dates back to 329 BC. These dogs were once kept as Royal Pets in Ancient Egypt. Rumours abound that this breed could be traced back further. There are carvings in the South of Iraq of a dog very similar to this breed. They can be dated back as far back as 7,000 BC. It’s amazing, right?
Did you know that dogs can have three eyelids? Many people don’t know this about their furry friends. The third lid, also known as a haw, is a nictitating or protective membrane. This is essential for protecting the eye and keeping it lubricated. Some features are only associated with certain breeds of dog. Shar-Peis and Chow Chows, for example, have black tongues. A third of Dalmatians can’t hear in one ear, and that is why 30% are deaf. Did you also know that a greyhound would win if a cheetah or a greyhound faced off in a long-distance race? Greyhounds are able to run at incredible long distance speeds. Greyhounds can maintain a speed of 35 mph for up to seven miles.
In honor of National Dog Day, it is appropriate that we mention some of the most inspirational hero dogs around the world. This is actually something we enjoy doing every National Dog Day. We love to read about stories of dogs who have accomplished amazing things, and we recommend you do the exact same. It can be very eye-opening, and also very heartwarming.
Killian, a Labrador Retriever, saved his friend from abuse. After doing some research online, Jordan and Benjamin Hope hired a babysitter to care for their son. The couple were so happy with the choice that they hired the babysitter for five years. Alexis Khan wasn’t the amazing babysitter she claimed to be. She would repeatedly scold the baby and would slap him. Killian, their dog, would not have been notified by the couple. The abuse would have continued for at least five more months. Killian was aggressive toward the babysitter and would stay close to Killian whenever the babysitter arrived. The parents became concerned and decided to hide their iPhone under the sofa to record the situation. They found out everything and, if not for Killian they wouldn’t have known.
Toby, a Golden Retriever, is another amazing story. Debbie Parkhurst, his owner, found a large chunk of apple stuck in her throat and couldn’t extract it. She had to fight her way out to get the apple out. Two-year-old Golden Retriever, Debbie Parkhurst, saw her despair and leapt up and down on her stomach, attempting to pull the apple out. We recommend reading other stories like this one. You’ll be amazed.
Colleen Paige is the one who initiated this amazing day. Collen is an Animal Advocate as well as a Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert. This day marks the anniversary of when Collen adopted her first dog, Sheltie. This day has been adopted all over the globe and is even included in New York’s legislation, proving how important it truly is.
There are many ways you can celebrate National Dog Day. You could adopt a dog from an animal rescue shelter, give your dog a holistic spa treatment, or buy your dog and yourself matching t-shirts.
The National Dog Day Foundation supports all types of dogs and discourages backyard breeders and puppy mills from selling them. Instead, adopt from rescue shelters or support breeders who are reputable.
Former US President George W Bush has supported National Dog Day. His own dog, Barney, a Scottish terrier, has his own website. He has also starred in short films. Celebrate dogs today by showing appreciation for their talents and taking time to help dogs in need.
Donating to an animal charity can be a great way to celebrate National Dog Day. There is likely to be a shelter or dog charity in your area. You can do a quick internet search to find out more about amazing charities that are doing great work. There are rescue shelters and charities for dogs that don’t have a home. There are also organizations that help deaf dogs, therapy dogs, and guide dogs. A donation to these organizations can make all the difference.
You may decide fundraising is the best way to achieve this. Fundraising is a simple process that involves everyone. You don’t have to come up with complicated ideas. Fun runs and bake sales can be so successful. It is important to have something the community can support. You could also ask for sponsorship from people who want to help you with a challenge, such as skydiving or walking a distance. There are many options.
Donating money is not the only thing that matters. Many organizations would be equally grateful for your time. Spend the day volunteering for an animal charity. We would appreciate it if you could donate more time in the future.
A great way to celebrate National Dog Day is to give a dog a loving home. A dog can make your life better. You may not be ready to bring a dog into your family. You may not be able. For example, some landlords won’t allow tenants to keep pets in their home. Sponsor a dog instead if this is the case. You will be able to donate a small amount each week or month, and you will also help provide a home for a dog. You will receive updates throughout the year to keep you informed about where your money is going and how your dog is doing.
A dog movie is another great way to celebrate National Dog Day. There are many wonderful films about dogs. You should not have any trouble finding one you don’t know. Old Yeller is one of our favorite films. We recommend this movie to anyone who hasn’t seen it before. This is a wonderful tale of coming of age. As you learn more about the bond between humans, their furry friends, it will take you on an emotional ride. You can also choose 101 Dalmations, which is more entertaining and less heart-breaking. We recommend Heart Of A Dog and Wallace & Gromit The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit as well as Lassie Come Home, Lady And TheTramp, Lassie, Isle Of Dogs. Togo, My Dog Tulip. Bolt, Sounder. The Incredible Journey. Megan Leavey. The story of a young Marine Corps corporal and her bond with her combat dog is the heart of this film. This is a wonderful movie. There are many more.
