Celeberate National Dog Week This Week

It's "National Dog Week", and if you're a dog lover like I am, you'll want to give your furry friend and extra hug. Dogs are great companions, and no matter what breed, from pedigrees to mutts, they're always happy to see you when you come home for the day!

Here's how "National Dog Week" came about, according to National Dog Week Facebook Page:

"National Dog Week is observed the last full week of September (and anytime you like)! National Dog Week was launched by Captain William Lewis Judy in 1928, established not to bring more dogs into the world but to create more responsible dog owners.

National Dog Week - it's more than just about a week, it's a MINDSET. Please visit the Dog Week blog to learn more about it and become part of history."

I always loved that famous quote from President Harry Truman. Here's what he said according to brainyquote.com:

"You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog."

And dogs still are man's and woman's best friend!
