...get a dog for the office.

Telegraph said:
Forget nicotine patches, if you really want to give up smoking you need to persuade your boss to provide a dog for the office.

Since Rupert, a nine-month-old cocker spaniel, arrived at a recruitment agency, a third of the smokers have kicked the habit. Instead of taking a cigarette break, staff at Relay Recruitment, Bradford, are encouraged to take Rupert for a 10-minute walk.

Good point

They often have a dog at my opticians, it belongs to the senior lady there. Last time I went my wife spent the time while I was in with optician playing with the dog on the floor of the shop. She loves dogs

My eyes go red if I play with a dog and get fur in them. Then I'd need the opticians. Nice bit of business generation.
