October 4 is World Animal Day, a global event celebrating animals big and small, from coast to coast and sea to sea around the world.
Although it was started in 1931 to draw attention to the endangered species is has since "become a day for remembering and paying tribute to all animals and the people who love and respect them. It's celebrated in different ways in every country, with no regard to nationality, religion, faith or political ideology."
