On November 1, 2026, figures from the anime and manga world celebrated Dog Day, and a second roundup collected their greetings. The posts came from official series accounts, authors, illustrators, and a video game producer, and included drawings, character reminders, contest announcements, and messages thanking dogs.
The Space Brothers official account highlighted Apo, the lucky dog of the Nanba family, describing the character as fond of hot dogs and pretty dogs. Keiichi Sigsawa posted about Dog Day, wondering whether the date is not November 11 because that might be too loud, and also thanked dogs for being on humanity's side. The Someone Hertz official account noted that dogs appear in three consecutive weeks of the manga, with the latest chapter set to update at midnight and Shonen Jump Issue 49 coming up.
The Thunder 3 anime account announced the winner of its Promotional Ambassador Dog Contest, which was held on August 26. After judging, Chuck-kun took the top prize, and the account shared a photo of the winning dog. The Tono to Inu official account said a manga would be released later and posted a corgi-themed drawing. Shū Uchida and the You Are a Four Leaf Clover account also shared Dog Day illustrations.
Osamu Yamasaki, director of Shiba Inu Rooms, marked the day with the first preview video for the announced TV anime, showing Kōri and Mū in motion. Michinori Ozawa, a video game producer, posted about Strider and Shadow Dancer, noting the latter's dog companion that shrinks when it takes damage. Shoko Takaku promoted her pet essay manga about her dog Dotechin, who is attached to her roommate Fujiu, and said she still loves the dog even if the affection is unrequited.
Other posts included Zunko Tohoku noting that Kiritan's obi clasp is an Akita Inu, the Crows×Worst×Dust Land account referring to De Niro as a dog, and the 3月の霹靂 account sharing a puppy illustration tied to 100回まわって愛を啼け.
