ACROSS ILLINOIS — National Dog Day 2022 falls on Aug. 26, but as any dog owner knows, every single day is an excuse to celebrate our oh-so-cute canine companions. We asked Illinois Patch readers to send in photos of their four-legged friends and the response was overwhelmingly precious.

Peruse this rollicking roundup of Illinois pups, but be warned: the content you are about to witness is unbearably adorable.
