June 24, 2011 (Take your dog to work day)

[Angelica]

How many times have you left your dog crying and only wished you would have taken him/her with you? Good News! On Friday June 24, 2011 you have the chance to take your dog to work. We spend more time with people at work than with our families, friends, and pets. Some of us are lucky we have friends at work but that’s not the case for everyone. Take advantage of this opportunity. It’s an especial day to take your canine friend to work. This website has a list of dog- friendly employers. I hope more businesses join the fun. The presence of dogs at your workplace is supposed to be beneficial. It can reduce stress, and make people happier. Employees are actually more productive and are willing to stay late to finish a project. It’s not a distraction at all like some people think. Businesses have reported better team work, and increase in sales when having their dogs on-site. Also, people who have the chance to take their dogs to work are healthier than those who don’t. So why not give it a try? You won’t be disappointed.
