Things To Do In Celebration Of National Dog Day: How Will You Treat Your Pup?

It often seems like there’s a holiday for every conceivable celebration, from honoring our moms and dads to our grandparents and secretaries. So it probably won’t surprise that this Wednesday, August 26, marks National Dog Day.

What are you and your pooch doing, if anything, to mark the occasion? Taking your dog out to eat with you at a local restaurant? An extra visit to Fort Greene Park for playtime? Some new toys from Who’s Your Doggy?
