He is an epitome of selfless love, a God’s blessing and to the world, he is a father, who sacrifices everything for their children. As the world celebrates Father’s day 2018 on today (June 17), Google has dedicated a heart-warming doodle to personify the love and care fathers shower on their children.

Celebrating fatherhood, the Google doodle shows colourful handprints that resemble dinosaurs. The Google doodle reflects the bond of love, care and protectiveness of fathers for their children.

Father’s day is celebrated all across the globe with several traditions and forms of celebrations. This is the day dedicated to fathers when children honour and pamper their dads.

Father’s day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June every year. The history of the dates back to 1908 when it was first observed at a church in West Virginia. It was celebrated in the honor of over 200 fathers who had died at a mining explosion in Monongah.

It became an annual event in 1910 in Spokane, Washington. In 1913, the first bill was brought in the Congress to consider the Father’s Day as a national holiday. However, the bill could be passed only in 1972 and Father’s Day on every third Sunday of June became a national holiday.
