ACROSS ILLINOIS — It's National Dog Day, which gives us humans a chance to celebrate the creatures who are by our side when we're hiking through a forest, curled up with a good book or binge-watching Netflix while eating ice cream out of the pint. Dogs and humans have a special bond and Patch readers are all too happy to share their dog stories.

Check out these National Dog Day images from Patch readers, but beware. You've never seen anything quite this cute.
