August is National Dog Month

[Pegasus Unbound]

All during the month of August, National Dog Month celebrates our loveable canine pals smack in the middle of the dog days of summer. Dogs are the #1 most commonly owned pets on the planet, and with good reason. Did you know that scientific studies prove our pawsome companions make us happier, less stressed, and more optimistic? The list of benefits to spending time with a dog goes on and on, but it all proves one thing––that a month-long celebration of our furry best friends has been a long time coming.


Whether your dog burrows under the blankets with you at night, plays in the sprinkler, or alerts you to a health need, we know they are constantly improving our lives and making them more fun. Not only that but the companionship and affection we share with them make their lives better, too. Dog lovers know a life without dogs is a life missing something special, and that’s a fact worth celebrating.


There are many people who do not really know or understand how much a dog can make in our lives...

I would love to hear some stories of how they made a difference in your life, and even share a picture of them.

OMG, chicken tenders or nuggets are such important treats for dogs...just like Cheetos.

For your knowledge that's just because you don't own a cat, you belong to it.

This is very, VERY true. Until my current therapy dog,I have always had cats in my life. They spend a lot of time training you to be a human that knows when to feed them, pet them, etc..

I miss my "little Girl" more than words can say.

A life without a "Fur Person" is not a life at all.

So cute! As far as trouble, they are just like having children, and Trouble is the middle name that is part of why we love them.
