It's with much sadness that we say goodbye to Tinkerbelle, the National Dog Day Mascot. On February 11, 2010, our precious Tinkerbelle, {also the canine best friend of National Dog Day founder, Colleen Paige} lost her battle with brain cancer. She was only 10 years old. Because of her amazing and magical spirit, she lived six months beyond what her life expectancy was determined to be. Over the course of her little life, Tinkerbelle brought love and kisses to thousands, from the everyday dog lover, to celebrities, sick and challenged children and the elderly. Through National Dog Day events nationwide, she has helped to save over 50,000 homeless dogs. This year, we ask that you adopt a new furry family member in Tinkerbelle's memory. Please let us know if you name your new dog after Tinkerbelle - we would love to feature a photo and short bio of him/her on our upcoming "Tinkerbelle's Legacy Lives On" page. |
