Hug your Hound Day officially took place on the second Sunday of September – which fell on 11th September this year. While the day itself was not about hugging as many dogs as possible – although, that does sound appealing – it was a day that is about experiencing life with your dog and making the most of developing your bond.

Our pets are much like children, in that we love and protect them at all times, and they need almost constant attention and supervision.
