Happy National Puppy Day!  Puppies are just so darned cute, sweet and lovable. They may be a lot of work but they bring such sunshine into people's lives! Just look at that cute little Corgi face in the picture above - how long before he grows into those ears?!  Too adorable for words.

If you've got a case of the Wednesdays - or any other day - Purina Puppy Chow and Soul Pancake have a perfect cure for that!  Puppies!!  See what happens when you unleash #ThePowerofPuppies at a Preschool, Retirement Home and a Gym. Watch puppies transform an ordinary day into something happy. Share this link with friends:

Help celebrate #PowerofPuppies  For ever video view (and oh, how it will make you and your friends smile!) Puppy Chow will donate one pound of Puppy Chow Natural to Rescue Bank. Up to 500,000 pounds of food will be donated to feed puppies across the country!  

Purina Puppy Chow Natural is a new complete and balanced for puppies that's made without any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. 

Please share the link to the video with friends and family to increase donations to Rescue Bank!

On another fun note, Next Door, a private social network used by more than 95,000 U.S. Neighbors, has shared a graphic showing the most popular dog names by breed that come from within Next Door's members. It doesn't include dogs of mixed heritage. This by no means reflects all other pet owners in the country but I'm sharing it just for fun!

National Dog Day

Photo by Nancy Ross

It's true that "every dog has his day," only we today we can take that old saying literally. Today is National Dog Dog. Of course, your dog probably thinks that every day is his day and that's the way it should be. Dogs are our companions, our friends, our family members. Service Dogs, Police Dogs, Therapy Dogs, PTSD Dogs, Bomb-Sniffing Dogs, there is an almost endless array of things that dogs do for us. They will lay down their lives for us. They give us their unconditional love and endless devotion. They deserve to be celebrated.
