It\u2019s that time of year again, when we celebrate our liberation from England. July 4th<\/sup> marks the day we became unleashed, one might say. As Americans gather to appreciate our independence, I humbly recommend that you bring your furry friends along for the fun. I\u2019ve never met a backyard barbeque I didn\u2019t love, and I can safely say my doggie brethren feel the same way. The fireworks we can do without, so maybe drop us at home and shut the doors at sunset.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m dying to know where you\u2019re taking your fur babies to proudly proclaim your love of freedom. Are you bringing them to the beach? Because that\u2019s a dog\u2019s favorite place! Maybe you\u2019re headed to the park. Coincidentally, that\u2019s also a dog\u2019s favorite place. Oh, are you going to a backyard party? Also any dog\u2019s favorite place in the whole wide world! Look, thanks to our forefathers, we\u2019re all livin\u2019 the canine dream (#Merica). We don\u2019t care where the party is happening, we just want to be downwind from the grill.<\/p>\n

Here are some of our favorite pictures of your patriotic pets celebrating summer fun and soaking up some good old fashioned liberty. Want to show off your precious furry gems? Next month we\u2019re featuring back to school, so tweet us pics @flightsdotcom<\/strong> of your dogs and cats helping you study, chilling with you on campus, or keeping you company while you highlight flash cards. Make sure to tag your submissions #PetsInTravel<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
