International Dog Day
July 2 · Level 5 · #1311 of 2238
International Dog Day celebrates canine companions and the responsibility that comes with caring for them. Alongside the happy photographs, it draws attention to what every dog needs: a safe home, exercise, attention and dependable care.
How it is celebrated: dog lovers support shelters, donate food and share adoption appeals. At home, people make extra time for walks, games and patient training sessions with their pets.
Dogs are generally recognised as the first domesticated animals. Their relationship with humans began long before farming, giving an ordinary walk together a remarkably deep history.
