SASHA SAYS:
National Dog Day
An Animal Welfare Holiday to Adopt and Honor Pets
"Some go into law enforcement. Some go into medicine. But they all appreciate a good belly rub. Whether they're saving lives or simply enriching them, rescue dogs, police dogs, therapy dogs and family dogs are selflessly devoted to making the world and their homes a better place. But with four million adoptable animals put down every year, many dogs never get the chance to put their big hearts to use.
August 26 is National Dog Day, a holiday to celebrate dogs and all that they do for us, and to welcome those in need into our lives through animal rescue.
National Dog Day founder Colleen Paige was inspired to create the holiday after looking at a coffee table book that depicted the horrors and triumphs of 9/11 without a single mention of the hundreds of rescue dogs who put their lives on the line at Ground Zero to help the emergency crews.
"The lack of attention for what these dogs endured and accomplished made me weep," said Paige. "It also made me realize all that they do, unconditionally, and how so many are abused and abandoned. I felt that they needed a day of recognition, a day for us to say "thank you" for saving our lives, lowering our blood pressure, guiding our blind, protecting our streets, our homes and our families, and to show our appreciation by helping to celebrate them and save lives in return."
With the support of the Animal Miracle Network, National Dog Day has grown annually with events expanding as far as Puerto Rico, England and Italy. Affiliates are welcomed to host their own National Dog Day events ranging from dog shows, walkathons and photo contests to picnics, adoption drives and fairs.
If you're already a proud pet owner, take some time on National Dog Day to show your dog how much you appreciate him. Paige's recommended holiday activities include having a picnic at a dog park, inviting the neighborhood dogs over for a pool party, coordinating a costume parade on your street, taking your dog shopping to pick out a new toy and planning a pet-friendly getaway.
If you're looking to give a homeless dog a loving home, visit www.adoptapet.com to meet your new best friend. With pet adoption, you'll find that National Dog Day will be the first of countless great ones to come.

Good post.
Sweet William The Scot
Stay safe and anchored down, Sweet Friend! We are sending our strongest White Dog positive energies to you and all of our friends that the Hurricane passes you by without and damage.
We, too celebrated National Dog Day and think your tribute to Chase was wonderful!
You will not fly away, Amber. Your mom would cry, so you aren't allowed. Isaac will just have to leave you alone. And we hope everyone in the storm's path will be safe.
Your cousin Chase is one of the good guys.
Hoping that Hurricane turns and blows out to sea.
Your pal, Pip
hey Amber,
Great B/W photo. Just ate a tasty treat? ;->
Your cousin Chase is a very handsome feller! And very brave! But scary!!! I may be a big Alpha Male but I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those jaws. Yikes! Thanks for being out there catching the bad guys, Chase! You are pawsome!
Amber, if the hurricane blows you this way you are welcome to hang with me, and then a Kansas tornado can send you back home. BOL!
Suka
Chase sounds like a pretty good guy to have around :)
Glad Isaac isn't gonna blow you away Amber BOL! No really. Very glad you're safe :)
