RE: Purina's drive to promote pets in the workplace
I think that in a situation like yours, Evelyn, then bringing a dog along to work would probably be fine. You were each working in your own little space, and the dogs were staying right there with you, and not walking around in some kind of a store.
No one probably knew which people had their dogs along with them, when they were all just lying quietly at the feet of their owners, and there were no customers who would be wandering in where everyone was working.
As long as it is not being a problem for people who are allergic to dogs, or something similar, I think it is great to be able to take your dog along. I also worked at a place where you could bring your pet. I didn't take mine, but one lady had the tiniest Toy Schnauzer, and she slept in her little bed right beside the lady who owned her, and that little dog just loved going to work with her owner. It is dfinitely a good idea from the dog's point of view, I think.
