There’s no love like that of man’s best friend, so in honour of the bond between man and canine, International Dog Day is celebrated every year on August 26th.
Founded by Animal Welfare Advocate and Pet Lifestyle Expert Collen Paige, International Dog Day aims to help bring attention to the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues.
While you should treat your mate like every day is International Dog Day, it’s nice to show your four-legged friend how much you care about them – and we’ve rounded up the paw-fect gifts to do just that.
