Did you know…

Dogs have “____ memory.”

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Dogs thrive on routine, and summer’s the perfect time to start a few sunny traditions of your own. Whether it’s morning walks before the heat sets in or backyard play sessions after dinner, these little habits can become your pup’s favorite parts of the day.

Try setting up a weekly “pup picnic”. You can even let your dog join in on summer dessert night—think dog-safe cookies and treats galore. Just one small ritual like this can become something they look forward to all week. And if you don’t have time every week, no worries! Many pet parents will instead set aside one day a month for a special outing.

Dogs also love evening strolls during golden hour or a splash in a kiddie pool. Plus, don’t forget to celebrate their birthday or “gotcha days” with pupcakes or new toys.

The magic isn’t in how fancy the moment is—it’s in the time you share together, again and again.

If your pup is part of the family (and let’s be honest, they are), they should always feel special. Whether it’s a post-walk snack, a treat after training, or a “just because” surprise, Three Dog Bakery helps you make sure your dog always feels part of the family. No longer will your pup be stuck watching dessert happen without them.

From peanut butter sandwich crèmes to soft-baked quiche bites, these treats look like the ones we love—but they’re baked just for dogs, with real, pet-friendly ingredients. Whether you’re starting new traditions or keeping tails wagging during old ones, Three Dog Bakery is a simple way to make your dog’s day.

Baked with love in the U.S.A., they’re the kind of treats your pup would pick if they could.

When Bonnie and her husband took their daughters to the shelter, they weren’t planning to bring home a dog. Then the kids spotted a scruffy, smelly, and mostly toothless dog, and shouted, “She’s perfect!”

They named her Friday. She didn’t know sit or stay yet, but she knew how to be there for everyone. Whether it was cheering up a cranky kid or gently sharing space with the family hamster, Friday just got it.

Even after the girls grew up and moved out, Friday stayed at the center of things. She taught them that love doesn’t always arrive wrapped in a perfect package.

To her, showing up, staying close, and making space for others is enough. Friday is proof that when you choose to care, you make a family.

From wedding guests to real-life heroes, here’s what’s trending:
