Mark your calendars—the 18th annual Take Your Dog to Work Day event takes place Friday, June 24th! Giving new meaning to the phrase “working like a dog,” this event encourages employers to experience the joys of pets in the workplace for one day to support their local pet community.

Created by Pet Sitters International, the event celebrates the great companions dogs make and promotes dog adoptions by allowing people without pets to witness the special bond their coworkers have with their dogs firsthand.
