in a general sense, how would you feel about people having their pet dog(s) in the workplace? (lemmy.nz)

The only time I’ve seen it be appropriate was one lady at my work who trained service animals, and so the dog went everywhere she went. Every 2 years there would be a new dog in the building.

I am fine with service animals and well behaved animals. At my company they had a trial run with "work buddies". It resulted in people bringing in their untrained mutts that would fight among each other, shitting on the floor and generally making a mess of the office. One dog tried to jump on me during a meeting and I shoved it aside, the owner came over and was all pissy that I wasn't more friendly to his dog. That policy did not last long
