Unconditional love given to us by our beloved four-legged friends enriches our daily lives and the life lived within our homes.

“I think dogs are the most amazing creatures;
they give
unconditional love.
For me they are the role model for being alive.”

—Gilda Radner

I, like many other dog lovers, love the idea of a special day designed to celebrate dogs “decorating” designer rooms with the wow and the woof factor for National Dog Day.

“There’s just something about dogs that makes you feel good.
You come home, they’re thrilled to see you.
They’re good for the ego.”

He doesn’t pose.
He isn’t aware of the camera.”
