Friday is International Bring Your Dog to Work Day - Fair dinkum!

What a wonderful idea! Don't you think?

However, to ensure the day doesn't turn into a ruff experience, you are urged to contact your workplace before bringing your furry best friend into the office or work site.

See, not all employers are as accommodating. Some have strict policies, usually designed to protect workers who suffer from allergies or don't feel comfortable around dogs.

Others leave it up to the staff to decide. Or maybe you should just ask your domesticated carnivorous mammal, also known as canine, mongrel or hound. He/she will know best - woof!
