And none of them are wrong." – W.R. Purche The bond between humans and dogs is like no other—they’re our companions, always along for the ride no matter what ups and downs life brings. They show us joy and make us laugh, and even listen to us like they know exactly what we’re saying. They greet us at the door every day, love us unconditionally, and even help humans live longer, happier lives. Science has shown that dogs are naturally more sociable with humans than they are with other dogs – they’ll approach, wagging and interested, and often choose the human over another dog. They get a surge of oxytocin – the ‘love’ hormone – when they interact with their humans. Isn’t it time to show love for that furry family member in return? We know, that you celebrate your four-legged best friend 365 days a year, but on a few special canine-inspired holidays, we have an opportunity to give them an extra dash of love and appreciation.
