According to Purina, nearly 60% of dog owners plan to include their dogs in their Valentine's Day celebrations.

For instance, 66% of dog owners plan to show their dog how much they love him or her on Valentine's Day by showering the dog with hugs and kisses, while 56% prefer to show their love through a special meal topped off with their dog's favorite treat.

This year Purina and its brand Chef Michael’s decided to collect the most interesting explanations of “why” they do it and announced a special Valentine’s contest at doggievalentine.com (pic.).

For each uploaded photo of the dog with words why this dog is the perfect Valentine the brand donates to Adopt-a-Pet.com to support its mission to find forever homes for homeless dogs and plans to name the best Valentine among dogs till February, 14th.
