Honoring Hardworking Pups and the People Who Hustle Like Them

We’ve all heard the phrase “work like a dog”—but let’s be real: dogs don’t just work hard, they love hard, play hard, nap hard, and then do it all over again. So on August 6, we’re celebrating Work Like a Dog Day—a day to honor that loyal, driven, always-giving energy dogs bring to everything they do.

Here at DogStoreOnline, we know a thing or two about dogs who “clock in.” Our founder’s service dog, Rocco, is by her side every single day—supporting, guiding, and doing his job with quiet strength. He’s a reminder that dogs don’t need titles or salaries to be the most dedicated coworkers we know.

🐾 What It Means to “Work Like a Dog”

Whether it’s guiding, comforting, herding, sniffing, or simply being the best emotional support system on four paws, dogs show up fully. They don’t slack. They don’t complain. And they don’t miss an opportunity for a treat when the job’s done right. 💼

And let’s not forget about the humans—you! Whether you're running a business, wrangling a family, or just trying to stay afloat during a chaotic week, we see you. If you're working like a dog, you deserve a shoutout too.

💼 Ways to Celebrate Work Like a Dog Day

• Give your dog an extra-long walk or play session—they’ve earned it.

• Let your pup "help" with work today—even if it’s just snoozing beside your desk.

• Snap a pic of your dog on the job (aka: guarding the couch, supervising yard work, sitting through your Zoom calls).

• Tag us on social @DogStoreOnline and use #WorkLikeaDog for a chance to be featured!

🐕 Let’s Hear It for the Dogs Who Do It All

From the pups who truly serve to the ones who emotionally support, dogs show up for us every day. So today, let’s show up for them—with extra belly rubs, frozen treats, and a reminder that their work—their presence—means the world.

Here’s to the dogs who work like pros.
And here’s to the humans working right alongside them. 🐾💼

Happy Work Like a Dog Day from all of us at DogStoreOnline!
