Dog Tattoos to Honor All the Good Boys Out There
Who's a good boy? Your dog! Give the ol' puppers a big squeeze for National Hug Your Dog Day.
Holidays are weird, particularly the made up ones. April 10 is National Huge Your Dog Day. Now, before you misconstrue what the point we’re making, we love dogs, LOVE them. But this holiday seems really unnecessary. Who isn’t going to be hugging their dog any chance they get on the regular? That’s the whole point of having a pet! Hell, that’s why it’s called “petting!” We throw affection to our dogs constantly, we don’t need to be told twice.
Although, that being said, it is nice to have a day dedicated to spoiling the hell out of our good boys (and girls). Forget all of your many worries and hug that dog! Yeah, we know, the puppy is likely squirming and trying to get away, just hug him tighter!
And after you hug your dog, enjoy this gallery of dog tattoos.
