study shows dogs make workers more relaxed

Having a happy hound around 
is infectious ... and if you're happy
you work better. Beth Stultz with
Take Your Dog to Work Day naturally
agrees with a new study that shows
dogs at the workplace boosts productivity. 

"Many pet owners will feel more comfortable
since they are not away from their dog
and surveys show that employees may
work longer hours since their dog can be with them," she says,
and not home alone ripping up pillows.

Businesses on the cutting edge
like Google, Amazon and Ben and Jerry's
allow it and one day more companies
may not only have on site day care but
dog care as well. 

"As pet ownership is on the rise
and employees are looking for ways
to increase employee satisfaction,
that certainly is a possibility" says
Stultz.
