It is the Human
Condition to Love.
It is Love that Changes the Human Condition.
It is the Love of one Human that can Change a Nation.
It is that Love which empowers one Nation, to save man's best
friend.
~ C. Paige
National Dog Day
serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs
that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges family dogs and
dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and
bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for
their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a
child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs
and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage, saving their
lives and often grieving the dead and dying they cannot save.
National Dog Day's founder, pet expert and author
Colleen
Paige, felt it was time to honor dogs more than we currently do, to
give them "a day", to show deep appreciation for our long connection
to each other - for their endearing patience, unquestioning loyalty,
for their work, their capacity for love and their ability to impact
our lives everyday in the most miraculous ways. National Dog Day
wishes to encourage dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure - and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and
”abuse-free life”.
National Dog Day will
be many a dog’s birthday and for all of them it will be a
“K9- 4th of July!” Even citizens who are not dog owners will be encouraged to
donate $5 to their local shelter on National Dog Day.
