I
can't believe that this holiday exists, since I'm pretty sure it's
illegal to take a pet to many workplaces, such as restaurants and
hospitals (unless of course it's a service animal). But apparently
every year thousands of people have been taking their dogs to work on
Pet Sitters International's Take Your Dog to Work Day. And—get
this!—it's been going on for 15 years!
People
are encouraged to ask their bosses about allowing and promoting this
day. The day is all about fun and human-canine connection. Also, Pet
Sitters International uses the holiday to encourage people to adopt
pets.
Some
companies have a dog photo contest or a dog-owner lookalike contest.
Some have a pet fair, and others have a dog show focusing on dog
tricks (award for the “Top Dog”) or on costumes (award for the
“Best Dressed Canine”). Some companies have a special luncheon
with lots of dog treats.
Also
