National Play Monopoly Day on November 19 is the perfect excuse to gather your family, friends, and fur babies for a fun-filled evening of rolling dice, buying properties, and navigating Chance cards. This iconic board game has been entertaining players since 1935, and for dog lovers, it holds an extra special charm—thanks to the beloved dog token.
The Dog Token: A Paws-itively Perfect Piece
The dog token has been a fan favorite for decades. Originally introduced as the Scottie dog in the 1950s, this charming piece represents more than just a player’s marker—it symbolizes loyalty, playfulness, and a love for our four-legged companions. Over the years, the Scottie has maintained its place as one of Monopoly’s most iconic tokens, even as other pieces have come and gone.
Why is the dog so popular? Maybe it’s the idea that, just like in life, your furry best friend is with you every step of the journey. Or perhaps it’s because the Scottie dog captures the spirit of Monopoly: competitive but good-natured fun.
At Four Paws Place, we’re big fans of the Scottie token (naturally!). If you’re a Monopoly dog lover, why not go all out with Monopoly-themed dog toys and accessories to make your game night truly memorable?
