Job Searching Job Searching Find a Job Resumes & Letters Interviews & Employment From Alison Doyle, your Guide to Job Searching Because I am lucky enough to be able to work from home, every day is Take Your Dog to Work Day for me. My dogs happily lounge around my office and enjoy tennis ball and walk breaks. Being able to bring my dog to work would be a big perk if I was job searching. For others, it's not such a good idea. Can You Bring Your Dog to Work? Employees at companies that participate in Take Your Dog to Work Day, which is Friday, June 21, 2013, have an opportunity to bring their dog with them to work at least once a year. Those who bring their dogs to work can enter a photo contest and win a prize for themselves and their local animal shelter. The Benefits of Dogs In the Workplace People who bring their pets actually work longer hours! Some enlightened bosses truly "get it" and have opened their doors to dogs in the workplace. In fact surveys show that one in five companies allow pets.

Others are allergic to them. You also have to consider whether your dog, no matter how much you love him or her, should come to work with you. Some dogs don't react well to being in unfamiliar situations or around strangers.
