INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY 2024
“Bow wow, woof woof, bow wow wow…”
As you know, 2024 is the 50th anniversary of THE YEAR OF THE DIAMOND DOGS.
Today also happens to be the 20th anniversary of International Dog Day, founded on 26th August 2004 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert, Animal Rescue Advocate, Conservationist, Dog Trainer and Author, Colleen Paige. Read more about the day and Colleen’s work here: https://t.co/77zA6d9c3A
David Bowie’s love of dogs is well documented, and he has been photographed with various pooches many times over the years.
But perhaps the best known of those pictures is his iconic session with Terry O’Neill for the promotion of Diamond Dogs.
We’ve posted a few of them here, along with the promo poster (slide 4) of Guy Peellaert’s original artwork based on one of the photos for what was going to be the inner gatefold of Diamond Dogs.
In the end, the beautiful decaying cityscape created by Leee Black Childers was used with the words of Future Legend overprinted.
If you are lucky enough to be owned by a canine of the hound variety, why not spend the day listening to Diamond Dogs together?

A huge diolch to you, our extraordinary audience for bringing Green Man 2024 to life. It’s here in these mountains that we feel most alive, where a message of communal freedom, generosity and boundless possibility is amplified through that intangible atmosphere of openness.
Whether you were an old friend or first timer, you really did make this a Green Man for the ages. So take the memories with you beyond these fields until we meet in the Black Mountains once more.
Until then keep a watchful eye for more photos, videos and podcasts before the GM25 ticket release on Saturday 28th September. Big love, always. GM 💚
Uncover your GM24 line-up! ⚡️
A mighty welcome to your four headliners - the luminous @bigthiefmusic, Mercury-winning @sampha, the transcendental @Jon_Hopkins_, post-punk heroes @sleafordmods & plenty more besides!
Big love, GM 💚 https://t.co/eEVIsofCSS
