Work Hard, Play Hard: Celebrate a Double Dog Day on Friday, June 24, 2011

May 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Pet Sitters International (PSI), Take Your Dog to Work Day™ creator, has teamed up with pet expert Arden Moore, founder of Fourleggedlife.com and creator of  National Dog Party Day, to offer pet owners two ways to celebrate the great companions dogs make on Friday, June 24.  PSI and Fourleggedlife.com encourage dog lovers across the country to embrace a full day of working hard and playing hard with their dogs to celebrate the special person-pooch bond and promote pet adoption. Joining them in this double dog day celebration are K9Cakery and Pet Life Radio.

Pet lovers are encouraged to kick-off the double celebration by participating in the 13th annual Take Your Dog To Work Day.

The first celebrations will take place in San Diego to benefit the San Diego Humane Society, and SPCA http://www.sdhumane.org and New York City to benefit the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals® http://www.animalalliancenyc.org.  Find out how you and your pooch can play with a purpose after the work day is over by visiting http://www.dogpartyday.com.
