Today is Black Dog Day!
National
Black Dog Day is commemorated annually on October 1st and was established by
Pet and Family Lifestyle Expert Colleen Paige in 2011. Its primary aim is to
shed light on the challenges faced by black dogs in shelters and combat the
stigma associated with their color. Less likely to be adopted because of the negative connotations that come with their coat color, National Black Dog Day is all about showing that darker dogs are just as loyal, lovable and affectionate as their lighter-haired companions.
Wowzers! Today is also Fire Pup Day!
Every year on October 1st, National Fire Pup Day is celebrated to honor the canine members of America’s fire departments for their loyalty and service. We don't know if the Nut Case is a fire pup, but she IS BLACK AND WHITE! She runs really fast and she has been to a few of our local Volunteer Fire Department meetings with our Alex.
She says she would LOVE to be a fire Pup!
Do you know any fire Pups?
