They say a dog is man (and child's) best friend.
When my daughter turned two we threw a dog themed party for her. The invitations were printed on laser paper covered with different types of dogs. The cake was made to look like a park with dogs playing on it. I used a basic chocolate cake with a green area for grass decorated with very small stuffed dogs and plastic trees. Party fare included homemade dog bone cookies. Hats were dog ears constructed of felt. The kids played a variety of games. They played a water ball toss where a picture of a dog was mounted to a bucket of water. They also played a Simon says type game where they acted like dogs, including barking, rolling over panting etc. The kids went home with dog beanie babies.
