It's National Puppy Day!

March 22, 2016

That’s right! And we all know that dancers really love their dogs. So what better way to celebrate #NationalPuppyDay than by awww-ing over these adorable photos?

For the last couple of years, Sacramento Ballet has combined its Nutcracker run with a pet adoption event, which is a pretty genius marketing strategy if you ask me. Cute Claras and chubby puppies? Yes please.

Are Griz and Cali, the furry friends of New York City Ballet principals Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild, the most famous ballet dogs? Maybe…and they’re definitely two of the cutest.
