Dogs in the Workplace: win-win.

Now normally I don’t post things that aren’t design related in some way. But Andy Levitt, founder of HealthTalker sent this article to me today. And being that I’m 100% for animal-friendly workplaces, I thought I should share it. Everywhere.

Now I (like most people), am of the mind that your dog should go everywhere with you. Including work - provided of course that you don’t work at a restaurant, or a hospital, or something like that. Most of the agencies I’ve worked at/with have allowed dogs, and it’s kind of a common (almost expected) thing amongst creative environments to see a pooch or two roaming around. Some of the larger companies in this article have really taken it to another level, having upwards to 10 dogs hanging out and keeping everyone happy and relaxed. I’m super stoked about how much traction it’s gaining, and even more stoked that big articles about it are getting into places like Business Insider.

So if you’re one of the decreasing number of people who runs a business and doesn’t allow dogs, I suggest you read this Business Insider article and change your ways.
