Hi Marlene,

National Dog Day is on August 26 and we are getting ready to celebrate all our furry friends in the best ways possible! Can you believe that dogs have been with us for at least 14,000 years? Thank goodness for that because what would we do without man’s best friend? It is time to pull out all the cake and pictures of your pup and share your love for them with the world!

The holiday experts at National Today, the internet’s #1 authority for holidays, surveyed 3,000 Americans about everyone’s favorite furry friends and found:

The majority of dog owners (70%) would prefer to spend time with their dogs versus people
Nearly a quarter of men (23%) would prefer to spend time with their dogs than go on a date
Nearly 4 in 10 women (39%) would prefer spending time with their dogs to dating
68% of dog owners allow their dog to sleep with them at least once a month
Additionally, the top 10 Dog-Loving States Are:
1. California
2. New York
3. Washington
4. Tennessee
5. Florida
6. Massachusetts
7. Texas
8. Missouri
9. Ohio
10. Arizona

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you’d like me to send over additional tips on how to celebrate.

Otherwise, feel free to take this story and run with it!

Best,
Mariah
