Woof! It’s one of the best days of the year – National Dog Day!
Celebrating all things canine, the official day for your pooch began in 2004 and celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
The day honors our four-legged friends, who help keep us safe, bring comfort and often serve as companion to many.
For those with sight issues, seeing-eye dogs provide freedom and independance.
For law enforcement, they keep officers safe, detect explosives and help rescue victims in tragedies.
And for many of us, the tail wags and nuzzles remind us that our furry friends are always ready for a treat or a walk.
