National Mutt Day

National Mutt Day (December) is celebrated each year on December 2. It is a day for people who love mixed-breed dogs (“mutts”) to appreciate them and talk about what makes them special as companions. Many owners use it as an excuse for a favourite walk, treat or game and to share a few facts about their typical personality and care needs. The observance also reminds people to think carefully about whether mixed-breed dogs (“mutts”) suits their lifestyle before deciding to bring one home.
