10 American Companies Where Every Day Is Take Your Dog to Work Day
Today, pups across the country are putting on their best neckties and grabbing their attaché cases, because it’s Take Your Dog to Work Day.
For this one day, there is no need to battle through the separation anxiety you feel leaving your pooch behind as you head out the door.
But what if your best friend could be your canine coworker every day of the work week? For some lucky pet parents this is a reality. In honor of Take Your Dog to Work Day, Wellness Natural Pet Food rounded up some of the most dog-friendly offices in the country, workspaces where pups are allowed to paw in each and every day.
So take a look at 10 of the best offices in the country for dog owners, and then start filling out some applications.
