Doggy Date Night

Doggy Date Night is a fun American holiday where you can invite your dog for a date of sorts. To put it simply, this day is a great way to give more warmth and love to your pet and to spend time with him. Celebrated on February 3rd.

History

There is no reliable information about the origin of the holiday. It is believed that the main purpose of Doggy Date Night is to show love for your pet. Dogs are very sensitive creatures. They are strongly attached to people, so you often see sad videos about animals that whine for a long time and plaintively when their owner dies or leaves. Appreciate your barking comrades, do not forget about them, and pay more attention to them!

The domestication of dogs took place over 10,000 years ago. It is believed that humans tamed wolves. They fed them, and the animals protected the house (at that time it would be more correct to say the huts of the settlements) from the attack of enemies. At the moment, we know about 400 breeds of dogs. Many of them were specially bred by crossing genes. Therefore, today everyone can choose a pet that best suits the owner’s character and preferences.

Dogs play a big role in society. These are not only pets that bring joy and brighten up loneliness. Dogs are used in military and police service. In Nordic countries, dog sledding is common, allowing travel to other settlements where there are no roads and there is a lot of snow. There are also guide dogs that help blind or disabled people.

Interesting facts

• When dogs lick you, it is a sign that they are hungry or need attention (for example, they want to play). It is also a manifestation of the joy of meeting you.
• Research has shown that dogs as pets make their owners happier, relieve stress, and help them relax.
• The most expensive breed is the Löwchen (little lion dog). The price of a puppy can reach up to $10,000 in some countries.

How to celebrate

Spend more time with your pet. Walk and play with him often. If you feel bad and want to speak out, then talk to your dog. He will be an excellent listener. If you have long wanted to have a pet, then Doggy Date Night is a great opportunity to make your dream come true!
