It's take your dog to work day at our place today, unfortunately I only go to the office when they make me so my two haven't got the chance to go, just as well really, they are properly cute (IMHO) and I wouldn't get any work done.garythesign said:
Every day should be take your dog to work day.
We had ours at work and they were great for customer relations
The collie was more security, but she did have special customers!
Gaston does! We had ours at work and they were great for customer relations

Customers love him and when he’s barking in the back he sounds much bigger than he is!

Lovely looking dog - what breed/mix?
Have been told her soft ears are very Saluki like, which they are just not got the hair.Rest of her who knows as with a lot of Lurchers, was a stray found beat up years ago.
Not that you would know now mind.
First post in this thread. Have been busying myself with work as not having a great time mentally recently. In the care home I work in I created a person centred advent. Many residents suffer dementia so I spoke to them about their childhood and favourite Christmas presents or what they always wanted but never got.
One chap wanted a dog. So I made him dog owner for the afternoon, bought some dog treats and a small cuddly toy dog with an adoption certificate. This was the beginning of December
Alfie was fantastic, very well behaved and gentle. Not only was this good for the chap with dementia, my Mum was happy as Alfie was my Dad’s dog and he misses him greatly so this was enriching for him too. He’s definitely going to be coming back as the other residents (and staff) all fell in love.
As for the gift recipient since this day he has his little puppy dog tucked in his shirt every day without fail.
If any of you have care homes near and a spare hour please call and ask if they’d be ok with you visiting with your dog. It would be very much appreciated.

Therapy dogs are great.
