Can your canine climb the corporate ladder? Tomorrow is the 10th annual Take Your Dog to Work Day, so get your pups prepared to push some papers (or to get fawned over all day by your co-workers). The event is in celebration of man's best friend, as well as an encouragement for the dog-less amongst us to adopt. While thousands of companies participate, including Disney, be sure to clear your canine cubicle mate with your boss beforehand! The Daily News talked to a Carroll Gardens resident who brings her dog into Johnson & Johnson from time to time—she told them, "It's very therapeutic to come over and pet him, and it's good for the dog. He's the office stress-reliever." If you brings yours to the workplace, be sure to send us a photo or tag your photo with "Gothamist" on Flickr... and remember to take the pup out for happy hour after the 9 to 5! Or at least give him a treat and some extra belly scratches.

I'm not sure my patients would appreciate that.
Don't dogs help relieve blood pressure?!?
unless lee is an allergist, in which case the blood pressure relief won't outweigh the sneezing and watery eyes.
I take my dog to work with me occasionally. She likes it, and my coworkers love it, but my boss hates it because she's so cute everyone just wants to pay attention to her and not their work.
I wish I could bring my dog to my office....but I dont think the big corporation i work for will care for it.....LAME
Same here. :(
I could adopt a dog if only I was able to bring him/her to work. My current work hours prevents me from having a dog. bummer. My guy needs a best friend.
I meant a guy needs a best friend. My job sucks and my boss is an A-hole
We can't bring our pets to the office because management is afraid of the mental competition.
So when is Take Your Cat to Work Day? Cats rule and dogs drool.
Some dogs may drool, but they don't require litter boxes like cats do. Peeew and yuck.
My cats won't like the idea, it would be interfere with their napping schedule.
I can't think of any way work could be worse than to have to tolerate a bunch of smelly, slobbery, loud dogs at the same time.
I would love to have dogs at work instead of the pathetic miserable nasty people that I have to work with.
And that proves that you are against the human race. If it came down to killing a dog to save the entire human race, you would betray your own species and allow it to live. If you would truly rather live among the wolves, then please do so. It would make everyone, including yourself, much happier.
this is kinda ridiculous. i love dogs as much as the next person but we are talking about the workplace here. in the past few years i have seen people bring their dogs into more and more innapropriate places. it started out at restaurants with outside seating and now i go to the bank and there are three people waiting on line with their dogs. As much as I love to have my ass sniffed from behind while I wait on line at the bank
Did you even look at the website though? I mean, it is just for one day and it is meant to raise awareness about adopting animals. That's a little different than bringing your dog into a restaurant just cause you feel entitled. Hardly ridiculous. Besides, it's on a Friday in the summertime, a total morale booster for people that costs nothing for a company. Sounds good to me. Loosen up.

This is specist. What about cats? I demand that PETA intervene and blow it all out of proportion!
Idiot, your constant diatribe against Peta only proves to me that you are animal abuser. Did Peta stop you from abusing an animal?
And your constant way of trying to turn every subject into your own little bullshit political propaganda shows me that you are a total tool! The only animal I've ever abused was my chicken, which I've choked for many years.
I hate PETA because they destroy the animal rights movement. Nothing they do is for the betterment of animals. I'm sorry that they roped your little pea brain into their cult. You should educate yourself and support real animal rights by getting behind groups such as the ASPCA and others that would rather help animals than get their name in the papers because of nude models and hating on Obama because he swatted an insect.
as you admit you are an animal abuser for abusing a chicken and animal abuse is not propaganda. the animals can't speak for themselves and we have a moral obligation to speak for them.
As I've said in the past, you just don't get it. I am going to start a fundraiser to buy you a sense of humor.
I am an animal lover. However, my company allows this day, and it's an enormous distraction. A very large percentage of people I work with have dogs, and every year we've done this almost no work gets done because of the excitement, disruption, people cooing over each others dogs, etc. I'm all for promoting adoption, the human/animal bond, animal welfare, etc., but purely in terms of work productivity this day is a disaster.
I actually think it makes more sense to allow a select number of dogs into the office on a regular basis--althoough only those that are well behaved. It's the novelty quality of TYDTWD that makes it so distracting/disruptive.
This is soooo stupid. Why does an animal belong @ a job, if it serves no purpose related to the business establishment? If I saw a dog @ a restaurant or a deli or even he local shoe repair, and I had to deal with it, they'd lose my business in a minute.
Stupid fucking humans...
Definitely an improvement over "Bring your Child to Work" day.
