INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY CHALLENGE
International Dog Day is a special celebration of all dogs around the world and the companionship and loyalty that they show to us. Dogs truly are ‘man’s best friend’, and International Dog Day is a fantastic opportunity to showcase what these special animals do to keep us safe, guide us, and bring us joy. If you think about all the roles our furry friends play in our communities, it really is quite incredible! They have quite remarkable abilities, often sacrificing their own safety to selflessly protect the most vulnerable in our society. They work with law enforcement, emergency services, the army, and individuals that may need additional help, like those who are partially sighted or who need extra support. Not to mention, they consistently show us unconditional love and unending comfort, and brighten up our ‘ruff’ days with their waggy tails and goofy smiles.
Every entry comes with a special dog tag medal for your dog too! This is also a keyring for you to keep, the medals will be SENT IMMEDIATELY on purchase, so you can have them for 26th August, although challenge can be completed any time.
