The idea to create National Hug your Hound Day came from a qualified dog handler from Chicago, Amy Moore. She wanted to show people the strength of the bonds between a person and their pet.

The holiday was created by a unique person with many years of experience working with dogs. Amy Moore is known in many countries of the world. She can train any dog and correct the consequences of an improper upbringing. Special techniques have been created that allow her to quickly and effectively bond with the animal.

A dog handler helps dog owners build relationships with their pets. It makes the world a better and safer place for both animals and people.
