John Mason International took part in ‘Bring Your Dog to Work Day’ to fundraise for a local Dogs Trust charity.A total of seven dogs came to work for the day and were all generally very well behaved. 

Each member of staff donated GBP 10 to charity to bring their dog into the office.

Bring Your Dog to Work Day is an annual nationwide event in the UK organised by the dog grooming company HOWND. In the US it is known as Take Your Dog to Work Day and even Barak Obama took part this year taking his dog Bo into the Oval Office. 

Reported benefits of dogs in the workplace include improved morale, increased productivity and stress reduction. Many companies such as Google and Amazon welcome dogs to the workplace all year round.
