Ziua Internațională a Câinelui. O zi dedicată patrupezilor din orice rasă și care încurajează adopția

August 26 is celebrated as International Dog Day, established in 2004 to raise awareness about animal welfare and promote adoption. Colleen Paige, an animal activist, created this day to honor dogs and encourage their adoption. The date marks the anniversary of Paige's first dog adoption at age 10. This day highlights the importance of dogs in various roles, including service and rescue. In 2013, New York State officially recognized International Dog Day.
