Celebrating the Original Bark-Alarm and Backyard Chase Champion

September 4 is Newspaper Carrier Day, but let’s be honest—the real stars of the early-morning paper route? The dogs.

Whether your pup is a proud paper protector, an enthusiastic morning greeter, or a certified carrier chaser, today we’re celebrating those tail-wagging traditions that come with rolled-up news and paws on the porch.

Because long before email alerts and app notifications, dogs were patrolling the yard, keeping watch for The Paper Guy, and making sure every delivery came with a little bark, a wag, or a full-on zoomie.

🐾 Paper Pups of the Past (and Present)

Let’s take a moment to appreciate:

• 🐶 The dog who carries the paper proudly to your feet (a true pro!)

• 🐕 The one who hears the delivery car two blocks away

• 📦 The pup who thinks every newspaper is a chew toy in disguise

• 🐾 And the paper carriers who keep treats in their bags for neighborhood dogs (you know who you are—and we love you)

Whether your dog is an honorary mail assistant or just likes a good bark at sunrise, this day is for them.

📸 Let’s See Your “Paper Patrol” Pups!

📰 A Special Thanks to the Human Carriers

To the folks who brave early hours, barking driveways, and occasionally soggy front steps—thank you.
Your job might not get the spotlight, but it sure gets the tail wags. And we see you!

From all of us at DogStoreOnline, Happy Newspaper Carrier Day!
Here’s to dogs who “help,” humans who hustle, and a little morning madness that makes life fun. 🐾📬
