Take_Your_Dog_to_Work_Day
Take Your Dog to Work Day (TYDTWDay) was created by Pet Sitters International and first celebrated in 1999. PSI created the day to encourage businesses to allow dogs in the workplace for one Friday each year to celebrate dogs as companions and promote their adoptions from local shelters, rescue groups, and humane societies.[1] PSI believes that through the event, dogless co-workers will be encouraged to adopt. The week leading up to Take Your Dog To Work Day is Take Your Pet To Work Week.
