International Dog Day

When you return home in the evening after working all day and your pet dog comes running to you happily, that feeling is something else. It is also said that dogs understand your feelings. That is why you must have noticed that when you are sad, your dog starts trying to make you happy.

International Dog Day is celebrated to make people aware about the needs of these true and voiceless friends of ours. This day is celebrated all over the world on 26 August. Let us know why 26 August was chosen to celebrate International Dog Day and how it started being celebrated.

Why was 26 August chosen?

The day of 26 August was chosen to celebrate International Dog Day because on this day Coolin Page's first adopted dog came to his house. Coolin was 10 years old then. His first pet dog Sheltie has an important contribution behind his love for dogs.
