Adorable Iowa Pups For 'National Puppy Day' 2026 [GALLERY]

We sure have some adorable pups here in Eastern Iowa! We asked listeners to introduce us to their furry friends on National Puppy Day 2026, and they definitely understood the assignment!

Here at the radio station, we are of the belief that ALL dogs are puppies at heart. March 23rd may have been National Puppy Day, but we use the day as an excuse to share photos of our loveable dogs, no matter their age!

I'll start by showing you a photo of my BFF, Tater Tot. He's a Pug & Jack Russell Terrier mix who is turning 9-years-old this summer! I adopted Tater from Last Hope Animal Rescue in the spring of 2020, and he's been the love of my life ever since. This is my favorite photo of him EVER, although he has a few less teeth now...

Brain also has a couple of adorable pups at home! There's Rigby, he's a 13-year-old miniature schnauzer with a bit of attitude (Brain says he doubles as a college professor of liberal arts). And there's Barry, a 2-year-old German Shepherd that Brain adopted from Tails in Transit last year. Barry still has all his silly, puppy energy, so he's a bit of a derp!
