Muddy dog day
Muddy Dog Day is celebrated on the last Saturday of October and this year, it falls on October 25. The objective of the holiday is to simply bring joy to pet owners after COVID-19 caused a lockdown in the United Kingdom. On this day in 2021, pet owners shared pictures of their pet canines rolling around in the dirt or jumping into muddy puddles. Jo Milnes, founder, and owner of Distinctive Pets, came up with the holiday and encouraged people to share their muddy dog photographs in the days leading up to Muddy Dog Day. The day is meant to be a fun day to spend with dogs, regardless of breed, age, gender, etc.
