SUMMARY: To celebrate National Dog Day, the studio welcomed three dogs: Mac, Sandy, and Leo. Sandy sports a playful lipstick kiss from Kim Castro, while lively one-year-old Leo kept everyone entertained. The dogs’ owners, also producers, shared that it’s usually breakfast, walk, or nap time for them. The studio enjoyed the furry therapy vibe and encouraged viewers to treat their dogs with special offers from PetSmart (buy one, get one 25% off on treats), Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar (coupon with dog bowl and entree), and free Puppuccinos from Starbucks. Viewer-submitted dog photos added to the joyful celebration of our furry friends.
