I answered yes because I work at home and I am a very nice boss and allow my pets to be all around me!!! I share my office with Olivia, the hamster, and my Cockatiels live in the room next door. The dogs and cats come and go as they please! :p I feel very blessed to have this situation. :)

That's funny Logan, I answered yes too, for the very same reason.

That's why I always worry when I go away, because Rascal is so used to having me 24/7. Maybe he really loves the peace and quiet when I am gone - he can nap non-stop without me waking him up with a chin scritch!

I answered "Sometimes." I work at Petco, and they don't care if I bring a dog in occasionally...but I think they would be annoyed if I brought one every day, lol. And the regular workers can't bring them. Well, dogs are obviouslly allowed in the store, but there's really no way for them to watch their dogs and work at the same time I think. In the grooming section, if I'm busy, I can put a dog in the kennel, tie them up...or just let them roam in the grooming section, it has a gate.

I answered "sometimes" because I allow the people in my department to bring their pet when there is no other possibility but in general in our company it's not allowed. However I think if a dog is here once a month or so because his mom is a single mom (of a dog and 4 cats) and in general there is day care for the dog and the dog behaves well than there is no reason to say no.
We all here would enjoy very much if we could have a kitty or 2. They would like to work with computers, papers and pictures, I am sure, but........:(

I answered yes becasue I work at an Animal Hospital, So As long as we're not too busy I can bring one of my dogs in for a bath or just to hang out with me. But I wouldn't bring all three together or every day. I would be destracted worring about what there doing.

Hmmm this would be a depends on the circumstance. Service dogs are a yes, I've seen people with birds and stuff, but other then that it's just the odd small dog or so. I was allowed to take Smudge to a staff meeting once though, that was an interesting time.

NO:( .....
I guess if it was an emergency they would... well really I have never asked.. they might.. but it would probably be too distracting for the other workers... drivers bring dogs and cats all the time. The other day a driver had three boxers in the truck with him..

For the moment yes cuz I work at home for my mom in our group home but I'll have to get a "real" job soon so my answer could be changing.

I actually did not vote for I felt it would be cheating....my work IS pets. (Grooming) so if we did not allow pets we would not be in business...and at the same time, I doubt very much that anyone would appreciate our animlas loose all over the shop.. Even the boss makes his dog stay well confined.

Nah, school does not allow pets. This guy got suspended for trying to bring in a cocker spaniel once. Why would he do that?! I cannot imagine what he would do with it! Shove it in his locker??!! No!!!

I'm so jealous--I work in a restaurant, so obviously I can't bring mine. However, my husband works at a Honda dealer, and they are very pet friendly. He brings one of them on Saturdays sometimes--only if I'm home with the other one--and I stop in with them all the time. Customers bring their dogs in too!!
