Happy National Dog Day!

It’s National Dog Day and to celebrate, people from coast to coast have been sharing their photos online of their furry best friends.

Everyone has been getting into the spirit, from local organizations, to residents, to businesses. We thought we would highlight some of the best photos from the area and give these hard working dogs the recognition they deserve.
