National Puppy Day’s goal is to not only celebrate the offspring of man’s best friend but to encourage people to adopt puppies. It was also founded to create awareness of, and put an end to, the cruel practice of puppy mills and farms, and encourages people to “Adopt. Don’t Shop.”
I believe at the end of the days programming they would play the national anthem and then the test pattern and it ran all night until programming started again the next day…I think I was around 4 or 5 when we got our first television, it was second hand and had a 9" round screen…
