"Take Your Dog to Work" Day!!

By Rose Stricker ( Contact )   June 22, 2010

According to my Oriental Trading Calendar, Friday, June 25th is Take Your Dog to Work Day! This annual event asks pet lovers to celebrate the human-canine bond and promote pet adoption by taking dogs to work. The idea is to show co-workers how wonderful a companion a dog can be, and maybe some co-workers will be moved to adopt a pet from a humane society as well.

There are some folks in the Janesville Gazette newsroom who bring their dogs to work after normal office hours throughout the year, special day designation or not. Their pets are friendly and a pleasure to see. But, none of the other places I've worked would have welcomed the four-legged guests.

Are you ever allowed to bring your dog to work? How do you feel about co-workers bringing their pets?

I am lucky that I can bring my dog to work. I don't do it often but it is fun. Everyone here loves him and he is well behaved. He stays near my feet in my office. He did scare the bejeezus out of the UPS guy once.... good times lol
