BARK has compiled a list of 200 popular names, based on its BarkBox subscriptions.

Why Do We Love Dogs so Much? It's undeniable the bond that we share with our furry best friends. But why are we so inseparable? Humans domesticated dogs over 14,000 years ago. The relationship began as a mutual service agreement. Dogs offered protection while humans offered food. Because humans and dogs spent so many years evolving together, that bond gradually became more affectionate. Petting a dog has been shown to decrease stress levels. Dogs and people can even understand each others' language

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 parksgoing for a swim or grabbing some dinner together.
