Do You Have the Heart of a Dog?
Dec 02, 2025
Happy Giving Tuesday, my friend! (No, I’m not about to hit you up for a donation...promise!)
Today is one of my favorite days of the year. It’s a worldwide celebration of generosity, kindness, and making life just a little more wagalicious. And of course you know I get inspiration from those of us who share our homes, our hearts, and occasionally our sandwiches (oops!) with dogs. Thank you for inspiring me!
You and I both know this:
Dogs make the world better simply by being in it.
They remind us to play, to rest, to sniff the fresh air, and to greet each moment as if it’s the best one yet.
So today, in honor of the joy they bring us every single day, I invite you to join me in a Wagalicious Giving Tuesday intention:
🐶 Give with a dog’s heart.
Joyfully. Enthusiastically. Without keeping score.
Whether your gift today is:
- 💌 A donation to a local shelter or breed club doing good work
- 🤝 Volunteering your experience or a little elbow grease
- 💬 Encouraging a fellow owner-handler who’s struggling
- 🐾 Spending an extra 10 minutes playing with the dog who already thinks you're a superhero
…it all counts. It all matters. And it all ripples outward.
In fact, I’ll go first.
Today I’m choosing to give the gift of guidance to our amazing owner-handler community — the people who show up with heart, hustle, and grit every weekend. Because together, we lift each other higher. And that feels pretty darn wagalicious.
So here’s a little inspiration to carry into your day:
“People see you. People notice you. People emulate you. People are inspired by you. People want to be like you. Be the best version of you as often as possible, because people need your spark and your example.”
May your generosity spawn smiles, may your kindness brighten someone’s day, and may your dog reward you with the biggest full-body wiggle ever recorded.
With gratitude, joy, and a whole lotta wagalicious energy,
Sandy 🐾
