There is nothing quite like a dog who never leaves you alone...
The world seems like a wonderful place when there is love, happiness, and a loyal presence who adores you and craves for your company.
There is nothing quite like a dog who never leaves you alone, especially in your darkest hours, and wins your heart every day with their adorable ways.
While it is believed that pet parents take care of their furry companions, it's the other way around too. In their company, life seems much easier than it is and all the fears and anxieties melt away.
For dog lovers, every day is dedicated to their animal companions, but there is a special day to celebrate these precious buddies
International Dog Day founded by Animal Welfare Advocate and Pet Lifestyle Expert Collen Paige is observed every year on August 26. It was first celebrated in the year 2004 when Collen was 10 and his family adopted a dog for the first time.
Colleen Paige was wise even at the age of 10. Long before he became a dog trainer, author, and animal rescue advocate the bright child thought of dedicating a day to dogs to bring awareness how important animals are to motivate people to adopt pets.
He chose August 26 to celebrate International Dog Day for honoring all kinds of dogs irrespective of their breeds, as this was the day when he and his family brought home Sheltie their first dog from an animal shelter.
Dogs dedicate their lives to humans and their presence has a soothing effect. Some dogs can be trained to support disabled people while others can help in search and rescue operations with their incredible sense of smell.
Above all, their capacity for love and undying loyalty makes them a precious addition to our lives.
