11 Celebrities Honor The International Dog Day And Show Affection For Their Four-Legged Friends
Each year on August 26th, dog owners and fans honor their beloved pets by celebrating International Dog Day. This holiday was established in 2004 by Colleen Paige.
Colleen is a Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate. She specifically chose this day, August 26, to honor all dog breeds, both pure and mixed, as well as every dog on the planet because it holds significant meaning for her.
On that date, her family adopted her dog named Sheltie when she was ten years old, and her love for dogs continued to grow. By honoring International Dog Day, Colleen wanted to highlight all dogs, especially those in shelters, who are still searching for their forever homes and waiting for their best mates to come.
There are many furry friends in shelters of all sizes and breeds, so everyone who loves dogs can find their best friend there. Since 2004, this holiday has encouraged and increased adoptions, resulting in over one million dogs being adopted in the United States.
For owners who already share their homes with furry friends, this holiday has become a special day. They enjoy it together and do their best to make it unique, ensuring their furry buddies know that this day is especially for them.
This year, for International Dog Day, some celebrities decided to share their adorable photos with their four-legged friends online, showcasing the love and connection they have built together. We have collected these moments in this post so you can enjoy seeing famous celebs with their BFFs.
