Today is the day to celebrate the dog in your life.

It's National Dog day and if you have one of mans best friends you might want to do a little something extra today.

Here are a bunch of ways that you can celebrate...

1. Adopt a dog from your local shelter or pure breed rescue organization. Volunteer at your local shelter and offer to walk a dog or play with a dog, clean cages or anything else they need help with.

2. Have a safety check of your home to make sure it's safe for your dog and others.

3. Donate blankets, food and toys to animal welfare organizations.

4. Organize a peaceful demonstration in front of your community pet store that sells puppies.

5. Write your Congressman and ask that he/she support the ban of Puppy Mills and Gas Chambers in your state.

6. Buy your dog a fun new dog toy....or two...or five.

7. Have a National Dog Day party and invite all your friends and their dogs!

8. Give your dog some fun exercise by taking him or her to a doggy play resort.

9. Teach your dog a new trick.

10. Assist an ill or elderly neighbor by walking their dog.

If you have a dog we would love to see it. Post your picture below in the comments section.
