ROCKVILLE, MD — Between walking our dogs at Rockville's parks and taking them to restaurant patios, dogs are a part of everyday life in the city. Saturday, Aug. 26 is National Dog Day — all the more reason to celebrate our furry friends.
We asked Rockville Patch readers to share photos of their canine companions, and you came up big. Check out some of our favorite submissions below.
Meet Kyser, whose photo was submitted by Krystle.

"This is our Sheltie rescued December 2022 from horrible commercial breeding facility in Missouri. Finnegan is now almost 14-months-old and absolutely the sweetest little dog! We are forever grateful to IPAW, INC. rescue and Petfinder for entrusting us to welcome Finnegan into our family! We also have two precious indoor senior kitties." — Mary & Nick Baker
