Woof !! Who doesn\u2019t love these little creatures?! Rightly called a man\u2019s best friend, dogs are one of the most loved animals on the planet. Easily found in different sizes and breeds, they lift your mood on any day.\u00a0 Dogs play a great role in everyday life of humans in different forms- they are security, friend and companion, law enforcement partner and what not?! So, it is our duty to protect them at any cost and pave the way for a better shelter for these canines. However, the plight of dogs in different regions across various countries is not lovey-dovey. Therefore, in order to raise awareness about the ill treatment towards dogs and encourage dog adoption, International Dog Day is celebrated every year on 26th of August. Let us read in detail about International Dog Day 2021 in this article. So, gear up dear Canophiles!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25475245\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GK-Blogs-Square-Banner.png\" alt=\"GK Blogs Square Banner\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GK-Blogs-Square-Banner.png 345w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GK-Blogs-Square-Banner-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GK-Blogs-Square-Banner-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GK-Blogs-Square-Banner-24x24.png 24w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GK-Blogs-Square-Banner-48x48.png 48w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GK-Blogs-Square-Banner-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/GK-Blogs-Square-Banner-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Dog_Day_2021\"><\/span><strong>International Dog Day 2021<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The relationship between dogs and humans dates back to many centuries earlier. There is evidence that proves the longevity of the human-canine bond down the history lane. In a bid to provide better living conditions to these friendly and lovable canines, International Dog Day is celebrated every year on the 26th of August. The observance began as National Dog Day that later turned out to be of International acceptance. Undoubtedly, dogs are considered to be a man\u2019s best friend. Their loyalty and love towards the owner can be hardly kept a secret. Hence, on this special day dedicated to doggos around the globe, let us appreciate all that they do for us. Subsequently, let us also create awareness amongst the lot in order to boost dog adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Ace your competitive exams with Entri!

These Canophiles never want to see a canine in distress or being ill-treated. Not only canophilistic people but anyone with a humane heart would not love to see such a scenario.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back in 2004, a Dog lover and Animal advocate,\u00a0 <strong>Colleen Paige<\/strong>, began to observe National Dog Day on 26th August. Even though she chose this date to mark the day on which she adopted her first dog, it later held international importance. After the state of New York adopted this into the legislation, the National Dog Day was widely accepted. After gaining much international acceptance, it began to be known as International Dog Day. Since then, dog lovers across various countries in the world, commemorate and observe this special day with great zeal. Individuals, organizations and institutions join their hands together to celebrate this day in its true spirit and meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>To get study materials on various GK Topics, Click Here !<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Major Aims<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Raise awareness about the importance of rescuing dogs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Open dog rescue shelters and adoption centers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rescue homeless and abused dogs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reduce the mindset of people to turn over to pet stores to own a puppy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Encourage the adoption of dogs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.sng.link\/Bcofz\/yv45\/8wer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>To get PDF Notes on various GK Topics, Click Here !<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Dog_Day_2021_Date\"><\/span><strong>International Dog Day 2021 Date<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2004, countries and people across the globe who are bonded by their love for dogs, have marked the 26th day of August as International Dog Day.
