National Dog Day! Spend time with your furry friend at these local spots
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Thursday, August 26 is National Dog Day!
The holiday first began in 2004 by a pet and advocate Colleen Paige. The day is all about bringing awareness to not only celebrating your favorite furry animals, but to bring awareness to the adoption process of these animals in rescue centers.
If you already have a dog you are looking forward to celebrating this holiday with, check out these places in the Lowcountry to visit with your fur buddy:
- Take a stroll on King St.
- Take your dogs to visit one of the many beaches
- Grab a bite at Brown Dog Deli in Downtown Charleston
- Let your dog take a dip at Wag-N-Splash in North Charleston
- Relax at Freedom Park on Daniel Island
- Play fetch at Hampton Park
- Go visit the famous Angel Oak Tree
