Join in with #BringYourDogtoWorkDay #TakeYourDogToWorkDay Friday 23rd June in our 150th year

Submitted by Steve on 23:44, 1st Jun, 2023 | 0

All around Guernsey each year businesses and offices have had their 4 legged friends come to work and this year Bring Your Dog To Work Day takes places today, Friday 23rd June.

Having a dog in the room can make human colleagues more cooperative, reduce stress, increase job satisfaction and productivity.

When adopting a dog or any animal from the GSPCA we often ask how many hours potential owners may be at work.  Perhaps the question should actually be - are you able to take your dog to work?
