LM Says Woof on National Dog Day
Did you know August 26 was National Dog Day?
If you’re not a Fido fancier, you probably neither knew or cared.
But if you have a close friend named Max or Charlie or Buddy (the most popular names for male dogs) or Bella, Lucy or Daisy (most popular female names), you’ve probably got the date marked in red on your calendar.
