Did a bark, woof, or ruff (or perhaps a coo from an excited coworker) fill the halls of your office last week? Friday, June 22, was Take Your Dog to Work Day, a day dedicated to bringing man's best friend into the workspace. This 14th annual canine celebration helped promote pet adoption, as well as the benefits of having Fido at work -- which, according to recent research from Virginia Commonwealth University, include reducing stress and making the job more satisfying.
Companies like Amazon, Google, P&G Pet Care, Clif Bar & Company, and Ben & Jerry's already have open-dog policies. What about your place of business? Would you welcome a dog in your workplace? Why or why not?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments section. And in the meantime, take a look at a few furry friends that made it into the office on Friday.

Here's my Puppy at the office although it's not that peaceful because she constantly wants to go out of the room and go pee or play.
My office is dog friendly. It makes a huge difference in my mood just seeing them in the workplace.
Oh how cute!
The first puppy looks like a little fox.
