Take Your Dog To Work Day is Our New Favorite Holiday

Today is Bring Your Dog to Work Day, and we wish we knew sooner. Granted, I personally don't own a dog. But my friends and colleagues do, and I would love to spend my Friday playing their pets while on the clock. According to Take Your Dog, the holiday was started in 1999 to highlight how great companions dogs make and encourage their adoptions from local shelters, rescue groups and humane societies.

Everyday should be "take your dog and cat" to work day, but we would never get any work done. 

Here are some pictures of some pets going to work with their strangely attached owners:

Pets are always welcome in our offices, especially today on @takeyourdog to work day! http://t.co/bV0EgEwqvz #TYDTWD pic.twitter.com/TpVcMVtQ5T
