Happy International Dog Day!

Today's mission, as stated on the official website, is to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year as well as to acknowledge family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort.

In order to help celebrate man's favorite companion, we've recruited none other than the Wild Kratts - check out some of our favorite dog-centered episodes, clips, and games from Martin and Chris's creature adventures below!

WILD KRATTS - Cats and Dogs - Full Episode

While on the African savanna, Martin and Chris observe lots of wild cats and dogs interacting with each other. Soon, Wild Kratts kids are calling in from all over to ask about cats and dogs and whether they're like their own pets. Zach, who has been secretly listening to all the questions, comes up with scheme to capture and sell these creatures as “special” pets. The bros, Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy race to save the wild cats and dogs and protect them “living free and in the wild”.
