National Dog Day falls today, 26th August. Established in 2004 by animal advocate & pet and family lifestyle expert Coleen Paige, the aim of the awareness day is to raise awareness about the number of dogs that are currently in rescue centres and encourage the adoption of these animals.

Having been brought over from Ireland by The Dogs Trust, we were lucky enough to be matched up with our dog just over 9 years ago. Initially he was quite nervous, he soon settled though and is everything we could possibly of wished for.
