Hug a pooch today, better yet, adopt one!

Time to celebrate "National Dog Day". According to MetroNews Source there's a very interesting twist on it - Internet addresses ending in dot-dog made their debut a few weeks ago.

People around  the country have been claiming their dogs' personal email addresses and more are expected to do so today.

Most of the websites are for commercial uses like dog groomers, vets, and trainers. #NationalDogDay is also a big day at rescues and shelters. Adoptions usually go up on "National Dog Day."
