All American Pet Photo Day

July 11 is a special day when every pet owner celebrates All-American Pet Photo Day. One condition – the photos must be patriotic. It doesn’t matter what breed of dog, cat, or ferret you have. Choose patriotic clothes for your pet, take a few pictures, and post them on social networks.

History

In some ways, All American Pet Photo Day is reminiscent of National Pet Day, which was established by Colleen Paige. People have kept pets for centuries to satisfy the need to care for something. Initially, dogs were available only to aristocrats, used in hunting and demonstrating the owner’s status. By the second half of the 19th century, the middle class also bred dogs, reptiles, and rabbits.

Animals help people overcome loneliness and eliminate a lack of communication. Many owners love to show off their pets, and social networks and All-American Pet Photo Day provide a perfect opportunity for this.
