It's National Dog Day! Send us your pooch pics!

WASHINGTON - It's National Dog Day! Time to celebrate all things dogs - like you needed another excuse to spoil your pooch! Founded in 2004, National Dog Day recognizes family dogs, work dogs, and dogs that help save lives. CHECK OUT OUR PHOTO GALLERY!

It is also a good time to stop by your local dog shelter for a chance to rescue a friend in need!

Help FOX 5 celebrate National Dog Day by posting your favorite pooch pics on our Facebook Page! We'll post the pictures online and might even use them on the air!
