International Day of the Dog (IDOD) is an annual event about revering our chosen companion, man's best friend. For Sunday 30th April 2006, our first event, we called for an end to bullying.
After the great success of the first three International Days of the Dog, Jan Fennell the Dog Listener is delighted to announce the fourth annual International Day of the Dog,
to be held on Sunday 26th April 2009. As with the first year's activities:
Skydiving in England - not dogs!!
Picnic in Florida
Fancy dress parties in Australia
Beach stroll in Venezuela, etc.
...whether you would like to organise a walk, a show, or even just spend an hour playing in the garden, IDOD has the intention of creating a better understanding of dogs, with the one stipulation being that there is to be no force used on the dog — no violence, no shock collars, no jerking about, no shouting.
There is nothing to sign, nothing to pay: simply let us know what you do with your dog on April 26th and we we would love to advertise your event here on our website. No activity is too big or too small. This year looks to be much, much bigger, so join in and let us know your ideas and experiences, but above all, HAVE FUN!!
