National Dog Day is on August 26 in the U.S., and this year, WJZ is celebrating with furry friends from across Maryland.

Each morning, WJZ At 9 asks viewers to share photos of their furry friends, but on Tuesday, there were too many to show.

Instead, scroll through to meet some of the dogs of Maryland:

First, meet 9-year-old Elwood, a gorgeous Great Dane who was spotted enjoying a sunny day outside.
