Take Your Dog To Work Day

"On Friday, June 20,
Pet Sitters International's 10th annual Take Your Dog To Work Day(R) will kick off the summer celebrating the great companions dogs make and encouraging adoptions of shelter dogs. This fun day with an important purpose gives people a chance to bring their "best friend" to see what they do to bring home the chow while it encourages dogless co-workers to adopt from a shelter or rescue.

As "corporate canines" visit workplaces throughout the country, they won't
be the only ones with a spring in their step. Dog owners can revel in the
fact that research studies report a link between dog ownership and reduced
stress and improved health for their human companions. "There's nothing like
the loyalty and unconditional love of a dog to balance the fast-paced, high
tech nature of life today," says Patti Moran, President of Pet Sitters
International. "Whatever you have to deal with, when you come home and your
dog rushes to greet you with his tail wagging, the troubles of the day melt
away."
