'Dog-ust First:' Birthday bash held for shelter dogs on Long Island

PORT WASHINGTON, Long Island (WABC) -- Did you know all rescue dogs are Leos? At least according to North Shore Animal League America, which years ago designated August 1, 'Dog-ust 1st,' the universal birthday for shelter pups, since their real birthdays are often a mystery.

The organization threw a big birthday bash on Sunday at its Port Washington campus for potential adopters and dogs waiting to move into their forever homes.
