Take Your Dog To Work

Wednesday September 17th is Take Your Dog To Work Day!  I don’t know how many employers can or will allow people to do this but I know my company won’t.  Having said that, even if they did allow it, I’m not sure I’d be that keen.  Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to take my shih tzu to work and she’s very well behaved so I know she’d be quite happy to sit in a basket near my desk, snooze all day whilst I work hard and go for a walk at break time and lunch.

My issue is with other people’s dogs.  Naturally, it would be up to the dog owner to decide if their dog is well behaved enough to go to work with them, but you can never tell if two dogs will get on.  Imagine if the person next to me brought in their staffordshire bull terrier.  If he took a dislike to my dog, he could practically eat her, she’s hardly a tough dog!

There will be other places where dogs aren’t allowed by law anyway, for example, in pubs, for hygiene reasons.  I still think the whole concept is a great idea though.  Dogs are great and there are so few places where they’re allowed to go any more.
