National Dog Day-- Celebrates all breeds, pure and mixed and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs who need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues. Honoring family dogs and dogs who work selflessly to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Celebrating can be as easy as giving your four-legged friend a big hug and kiss (if they like that sort of affection)! Source
