August 26 is National Dog Day. It’s also International Dog Day.
There are lots of ways to show your pooch extra appreciation today, whether it’s extra time at one of Atlanta’s dog parks, going for a swim or grabbing some dinner together.

In addition to the list of names, BARK is teaming up with the NYC Gay Men’s Chorus on Twitter. Dog owners can get a customized song about their pup by replying to @barkbox on Twitter with their dog’s name, photo and a little bit about why they deserve praise with the hashtag #Praisedog. BarkBox will then reply with a song made just for them.
