February 23rd is National Dog Biscuit Day (also known as International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day).
Dog biscuits did not exist until the mid-1800’s, when American James visited England and saw hungry, stray dogs scavenging for leftover food. He developed a cake-like biscuit made from meat, grains and vegetables called “Meat Fibrine Dog Cakes.” In 1908, the FH Bennett Biscuit Co. of New York developed the Milk-Bone — a hard-baked, bone-shaped biscuit comprised of various minerals, cow’s milk and meat products.
