National Hug Your Hound Day
On September 14
Dogs have been standing loyally beside their humans since the dawn of history, being one of the first, if not the first, animals that was ever domesticated.
Since then they’ve been warm and loving companions, loyal workers, and stalwart defenders of the homes and families of their owners.
National Hug Your Hound Day reminds people that their four-legged companions deserve recognition and loving attention.
First, the best way to start is by giving that lovable ball of fur and teeth a hug and telling them how much they are loved.
Then take some time thinking about how their world looks from down low, surrounded by us lumbering two-leggers with everything built too high for them. A little bit of affection and empathy goes a long way when it comes to taking care of a pet.
