Love your pup? The American Dog Owners Association wants you to celebrate National Dog Week from Sept. 18-24, 2005.
The group says on its Web site that the event recognizes dogs for all that they have done for people, from World War II through Sept. 11, 2001, and all the other smaller events.
"Even the simple task of companionship to a small child has made the world a better place. They have always been at our sides to comfort and help us. Let us return all those favors bestowed on us by the dog," the group says.
Suggested events for the week include setting up local parades or demonstrations at malls.
