Working dogs earn charity cash
ANIMAL lovers across Greater Manchester have been taking part in Bring Your Dog To Work Day.
Here are just a few of the adorable photos sent in by readers to mark the annual national event.
Productivity may have been slightly down on Friday, but morale was almost certainly up as cute pets posed in front of laptops, computer screens and keyboards, in office chairs and on workstations.
Some wore standard attire – jackets and ties and suits – while others sported party hats and shades.
But it wasn’t just a celebration of our four-legged friends.
Bring Your Dog To Work Day was established in the UK in 2014 and raises money each year for charities who are dedicated to the welfare of dogs.
All of the proceeds in 2018 are going to All Dogs Matter, who rescue and rehome dogs in London and the surrounding areas.
A spokesman for Bring Your Dog To Work Day said: “As well as raising funds for a great cause, Bring Your Dog to Work Day could have some positive benefits for employee productivity and wellbeing.
“Above all, the day promises to be a lot of fun for all those involved.
“It’s time to give your dog a job!
“Many scientific studies have concluded that the presence of pets can substantially reduce a person’s stress level in the workplace.
“Increased job satisfaction, team co-operation and morale have all been reported in employees that spend the workday with their pets.
“Since 2014, the year we established Bring Your Dog To Work Day, we have witnessed a growing number of businesses across the UK that allow dogs in the workplace.”
