Aug. 26 marked International Dog Day, and seeing as everyone and their dog adopted a pandemic puppy during the home office days of COVID-19, the occasion was celebrated perhaps more broadly than ever before: We're ready to call it the happiest day of the year on Instagram (sorry, cat-people).
Now as the dog days of summer bring us ever closer to fall, we've rounded up this week's episodes for you and your pooch to enjoy, perhaps over a nice long afternoon of squirrel-chasing. Go get 'em, Sparky!
