A dog-friendly workplace can be good for business: Your boss may not necessarily agree, but allowing employees to bring their dogs to the workplace can be very beneficial for productivity and the general work atmosphere, a report by Time magazine suggests. The study has found that dogs in the office can provide social support to employees, especially those suffering from burnout or mental health conditions, as well as affording more opportunities for coworkers to interact organically. Dog owners benefit from being able to bring their pooches to the office, remaining focused and dedicated during working hours without having to think about rushing home to feed or care for them.

8% of the US workforce now allow dogs in the workspace, up from 5% in 2013. Amazon is leading the movement, with some 1000 dogs in its Seattle headquarters. Disclaimer: We at Enterprise have an animal internship program (more on this below).
