Int'l Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day

Did you know that today is International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day? (I swear, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.)

It seems that the concept of "dog biscuits" was first introduced during ancient Roman times when dogs were given stale bread pieces for snacks. Later in the 19th century, hunters gave sporting dogs hard barley meal biscuits for energy on a hunt. Such biscuits were later upgraded to include vegetables, meat, and bone meal.

The dog biscuit industry has improved dramatically since the time of ancient Rome. Today, there are thousands of varieties of biscuit flavors and types to choose from. I think modern dogs have a lot to be thankful for.
