There's a big difference between bringing a dog to work for one or two days and having the dog there every day. I think the latter works better. Dogs (and kids!) do better if there is a regular routine. Right, Julia. There’s a big difference between bringing a dog to work for one or two days and having the dog there every day.

A resident dog or cat might work better. And then there's the real working dog, a guide dog for the blind for example, that has to be at work. Conflicts could abound. Now, providing facilities so people can bike to work! That's something to push for. Reduces stress going both ways.

We had a "bring your dog" permit at our office, so I brought my (outdoor) 120lb. Chesapeake Bay Retriever to work one day for kicks. He bit the black Lab in the office. I credit that to the confinement of a cubicle and the curious feeling of carpet. No wonder we're stressed. Ditto. We had a “bring your dog” permit at our office, so I brought my (outdoor) 120lb.
