BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Give your favorite animal some extra cuddles today because It's National Pet Day.

National Pet Day is actually about helping animals who may not have a loving home.

Plus the great thing about National Pet Day is that it doesn't discriminate. Whether your best friend is a retriever, a gold fish or a tarantula... It doesn't matter. You can Celebrate that bond and do your part to help other animals.
