U.S. Companies begin allowing pets at work!

It is great news for everyone who has a pet, especially for us Labrador owners. It means that many of us will be able to take our labs to work with us!

The idea began a few years ago and a small number of companies took part. Now the number has grown and it is becoming very popular to allow dogs at work. Approximately 20 percent of U.S. companies allow pets at work.

Research has shown that dogs at work are bringing colleagues closer together and keeping the atmosphere in the workplace upbeat. Pets are learning commands in different languages and their social skills are improving.

Some companies are even encouraging working from home so that you can be with your labrador throughout the day.

Google is one U.S. company that now allows pets at work and the trend is set to continue as further awareness is promoted.

Can you take your labrador to work? If so, why don't you write to us and tell us about it?
