True or False?

Dogs have a sense of humor.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Dog dads know the drill: you’ve got poop bags in your pocket, hair on every black shirt you own, and a camera roll that’s 90% your dog’s face. National Dog Dad Day is here to celebrate that bond, and it’s officially marked as the Saturday before Father’s Day.

First launched in 2021, Dog Dad Day is all about carving out time to appreciate your pup and everything you’ve built together. Whether you adopted a senior dog or raised your best bud from a puppy, it’s a chance to connect, reflect, and maybe spoil them a little.

Take a longer walk somewhere new. Make them a homemade treat (or pick one up). Snap a few great photos—yes, matching bandanas count—and maybe post a few of your favorites.

You could even use the day to donate to a local shelter or bring a dog-loving friend into the celebration. However you spend it, it’s a reminder of something simple and true: being a dog dad is one of life’s quiet privileges—and our dogs know it.

From daily walks to late-night treats, dads show up. So this year, skip the novelty mugs and check out our curated guide of gifts that are both personal and actually usable:
