Every dog must have his day and in August that day is August 26, National Dog Day, which honors the love and loyalty of dogs.
Like many celebrations, this day provides some publicity opportunities. For example, vets could discuss how to take good care of dogs. Animal shelters could promote the benefits of adopting stray dogs. Pet supply stores could offer seminars on dog care. And counselors and therapists could even discuss the beneficial impact of having a furry friend.
You get the idea.
Here are some other celebrations in August that might be publicity opportunities for you.
• August 1, 1990: Celebration of World Wide Web Anniversary
