Nationally recognized dog expert Ami Moore, The Chicago Dog Coach, has declared the 2nd Sunday in September 'National Hug Your Hound Day'. The holiday was created to increase the bond between dogs and their owners and to help dog owners see the world as dogs see it. Moore was the focus of an article written for 'The Dog Blog', by Jen Reeder, award winning pet writer.
"National Hug Your Hound Day," Moore stated, "is celebrated annually on the 2nd Sunday in September. This day is dedicated to celebrating the bond between you and your dog. National Hug Your Hound Day is about truly observing your dog (from their point of view) in their environment and everyday life and for just one day to see the word as your dog sees it. As you celebrate your beloved dog , remember that today is about keeping our dog’s healthy, happy and safe at home and in our hearts."
Ami Moore's desire is to make America more 'pup friendly', as it is in Europe. She would like for our dogs to be accepted in more places, especially public ones such as taxis, malls and restaurants and to appreciate the companionship our dogs give us and the value of it, both emotionally and physically.
How can we make America more 'pup friendly'? In the Dog Blog piece, Moore's advice is to " . . .take your dog everywhere you can. In most states, the way the law is written, you can take your dog anywhere as long as food is not being served. Have people hug your dog. Say, ‘Would you like to pet my dog? You can hug him – give him a treat.’ It’s a holiday to bring dogs to people who might not have them in their lives.”
"Spend a little extra time with your dog, get down to their level and make sure their environment and the places you take them are warm, comforting, inviting and safe. Oh yeah, and give your hound a hug."
