CURRENT AFFAIRS: IMPORTANT DAYS
International Dog Day 2021 – Observed on Aug 27
- Every year on 26 August, International Dog Day is celebrated across the world.
- It is a day to encourage people to adopt dogs, instead of buying them from pet stores or shops.
- The day is also recognised to celebrate all dogs, irrespective of their shape, size, breed among others.
- The day is significant because there are hundreds of dogs around the world who need to be rescued by local authorities as people do not take proper care of them.
