The Cutest Indy Pup Photo Gallery In Honor Of National Puppy Day

National Puppy Day is Friday, March 23. It's also known as one of the best days of the year each time it comes around. I have a three-month-old Siberian Husky named Bane, so this year's National Puppy Day is extra special. Although in years past I've had many other puppy snuggles thanks to some of the pups shown in the gallery.

In honor of National Puppy Day, Patch readers and friends emailed me photos of their sweet pups (and dogs). I use the word "dog" because as a bonus I'm including a few photos of older dogs since (let's be honest) most of us will always call our dog our "puppy." Also, who doesn't love photos of dogs at any age?

Here are the beautiful pups (in order) that you'll see above:

• Koozie Ambrose - 1.5 years
• Harley James Fraser - Almost 3 years
• Griswold Fangman - 5 months
• Nelly and Griswold Fangman - Nelly is 3.5 years
• Molly Cockshott - 4.5 months
• Dale Hughes - Almost 4 years. Dale is Bane's beautiful cousin. See next photo! They are best friends (when Bane isn't antagonizing him).
• Marley O’Sullivan - 10 years : )
• Kali Hahn - 6 months
• Bane Hughes - 12 weeks
• Emmy Reist - 4 months
• Frankie Swinehart - 1 year
• Missy-Blakely Swinehart - 11 years : )
• Tito Soy - 4 months
