By India Today Information Desk: Every year, April 11th is celebrated as National Pet Day worldwide, a day dedicated to expressing love, care, and affection towards our pets. On this day, pet owners take a break from their busy routines to spend extra time with their beloved pets.

National Pet Day is a great opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the joy and companionship that pets bring into our lives.

The day is celebrated differently by people. Some people pamper their pets with extra toys and treats, take them for walks or play with them more than usual. Others even adopt new pets from animal shelters. This day encourages us to reflect on the unique bond between humans and animals and express gratitude for the positive influence that pets have on our lives.

National Pet Day was founded by Colleen Paige in 2006. She is a renowned animal welfare advocate and lifestyle expert. This day was created to highlight the situation of animals based in shelters all across the globe.

Therefore, let us celebrate National Pet Day by cherishing the bond we share with our pets and expressing our appreciation for their presence in our lives.
