20 Ways Dogs Celebrate National Dog Day

Happy National Dog Day

It’s National Dog Day, time to “to celebrate dogs for their capacity to love and their ability to impact our lives everyday in the most miraculous ways.”

As if we needed a day to remind us how special our canine family members are.

I think dogs should get to celebrate National Dog Day too. Lilah, Jasper and Tucker came up with a list of ways any dogs can enjoy their special day.

Here’s their list:

1) Sleep in.
