Although it would be nice for dog owners to bring their pet to work with them sounds like a good idea some employees might be alergic to the dogs.

Personally, I like dogs and currently have two living in my home. However, that does not mean that i would just love to have them in my workplace. My job consist of other employees that or in the office alone with me that I have to also consider upon making this decision. My co-workers may be allergic to dogs.

With that being said, dogs can be a big hazard. There are a number of possibilities on how a dog could cause our workplace to be harmful.

I appreciate your desire to make sure every employee feels comfortable and stress-free at work. Also, I adore dogs and would love to able to have my furry-friend alongside me all day long. However, after looking at the pro's and con's, I'd have to say I do not agree with this idea.
