It’s National Puppy Day, and we’re celebrating everything we love about these little creatures, from their cuddles and playfulness to their spunk and silliness — and all the joy those qualities bring!
We knew a great way to celebrate was to feature photos of cute puppies. So we’ve pulled together 10 of our favorite puppy pictures from our readers in the gallery below. One of the goals of the holiday is to promote the adoption of shelter puppies — so that's why many of the pups in our gallery are rescues!
