It's International Dog Day! 🐩

Two dogs sleeping. They are surrounded by cushions and are cuddled up on top of each other. One is a light brown border terrier and the other is a black terrier mix. The border terrier's paw is draped over the other terrier's shoulder

Here we go again. Another excuse to share pet pictures, but who's complaining when they're this cute?!

International Dog Day was created in 2004 to celebrate dogs and encourage people to think about adoption and responsible dog ownership.

It's also a great opportunity to celebrate all those dogs with jobs that help disabled people day to day. From Guide Dogs to service dogs and medical alert dogs, there are so many hard working hounds around helping to make the world a more accessible place for disabled people.

But of course, even those without official jobs can make a life-changing difference to your well being.

So in honour of this glorious day, please do share any pictures of your canine companions. Or anyone else's canine companions. All dog pictures are welcome here 🐕️

    An excuse to post photos of dogs? Count me in!

    A photo of a sandy dog sitting at a desk saying "I have no idea what I'm doing"

    (This is actually a photo of me at work. )

    Come on folks, let's see all your four legged friends. Or even photos of your friends' dogs will do. 😁

    Rosie had written the discussion in advance, so it'll say whichever date it was started on @66Mustang but today is the doggo day!

    It's great to see Jenson's doing well and is still being super helpful. 😊

    Haha yes he is @Grumpy1314! We always say in my house that we never know dogs could be so dramatic until we took him in😄

    I really hope your dog is okay, he seems like a very strong and loving dog.

    That sounds like a great idea, I hadn't heard of that programme before but that sounds it could be a game changer for a lot of people!

    It's funny isn't it, how they're non-vocal, but in many ways they're better and more explicit than us when communicating

    They'll just say what they want… "I'd like you to look at me, rather than that book, please"

    No prize for guessing what Jenson is asking for here

    Oh you know I am always happy to see Jenson @66Mustang 😍

    I love his nickname @Grumpy1314

    I did a double take when I saw the Wagg treats on the shelf… the "W" was covered up, looks like a naughty magazine 🫣

    Dog spam incoming! Here we will see the glorious old men that are Albus Grumblebork, Baldrick T Doombringer and Rufus aka The Doof/Doofy.

    Fun fact; Baldrick is now the only member of the pack that can walk more than 40 meters without needing a day to recover. 😆

    I don't think it's possible to qualify as spam if there are dogs that cute in the pic @Albus_Scope ❤️

    Blatant name drop incoming but … I took this pic to ask on a group I go to if anyone wanted some posh tea I didn't like … and look who was in the picture… he gets everywhere 🙄

    @Grumpy1314

    Jenson definitely nags for treats

    Sadly everyone gives in so he just learns to do it more 😂
