National Take Your Dog to Work Day Between Noble Goals & Fun
What about your pet? Do you love it? Do you feel guilty when leaving it at home and heading to work for several hours? You might often think, what would happen if I take my dog to work instead of leaving it alone? This is what Pet Sitters International (PSI) thought, which introduced the idea of taking dogs to work at least one day a year, calling this day, National Take Your Dog to Work Day which falls on the Friday after Father's Day (June 24). Who knows maybe when your company sees your dog, they will let you take it to work every day!
National Take Your Dog to Work Day’s Noble Goal
On this occasion, we look back on the National Take Your Dog to Work Day, which began in 1999 as a way to celebrate dogs and encourage adoption to save as many pets as possible, how? Simply, when your co-workers see the bonds you have with your dog, they may get encouraged to adopt pets.
It may come to your mind, that having your dog with you at work may make it difficult for you to complete your tasks, but let's look at it another way, there is no doubt that having your dog with you will allow you to interact with your colleagues better and add an atmosphere of fun. Maybe the idea of promoting communication and teamwork persuades your manager to allow you to take your dog to work!
Timeline of the Human–canine Bond
Humans have had a close relationship with dogs since ancient times, as dogs were 15,000 years ago domesticated to be used for hunting, then in the mid-18th century, they became man's best friend and first companion in his travels.
In 1999 the association of humans with dogs increased, which prompted Pet Sitter’s International to put forward the idea of dedicating a day to celebrating dogs and taking them to work. In 2019, the vast majority of dogs around the world have a shelter and enjoy many benefits.
This year, it is still constantly evolving for the better, as the hope of ending pet homelessness is no longer far away.
