🐩 🐕‍🦺 DOG DAY🦮 🐕

November 1st is not only 'Black Tea Day' (紅茶の日), it is also...'Dog Day' (犬の日)🐕

As you might expect, this is thanks to a play on words.
1 1 / 1 sounds very like 'ワン ワン ワン' (wan wan wan), the sound a dog makes when it barks (in Japan anyway).

I see all these 🐱 and it’s not even caturday. It’s Dogday .

Bandit says, “Hi.” That’s it, that’s his name. None of this cat lovers with their, “Princess Iced Tea Purrloin “or “Sammy the Snappy Siamese.”

Just Bandit.
