International Dog Day – August 26th

What did we do to deserve dogs? Man’s best friend, our canine pals share a special bond with us, which is why August 26th is officially International Dog Day! This is the day to spend time with and show appreciation for the dogs of the world 🐶🐾

Dogs are a guaranteed winner for engagement on social media because they’re friggin’ adorable and people can’t help themselves. In order to join in with International Dog Day and get a nice boost on your content, make sure to plan some dog-related posts! Maybe you could bring your dog to work, raise money for a local dog shelter, or promote some canine-related products!

🐶This Roman statue of a Molossian hound stands just over one metre tall. These dogs were known for their fierce temperament and were related to the modern mastiff. They were often used as guard dogs by herdsmen and for household security in cities. Despite the fearsome reputation of Molossian hounds, this depiction shows a dog in a relaxed and obedient pose. It’s thought that this marble sculpture from around the 2nd century AD is a replica of an older Greek bronze that is now lost. You can see it on display in Room 22. #Roman #Rome #AncientRome #sculpture #statue #dog #dogs #InternationalDogDay #DogDay #🐶
