is it possible for you to bring dog to your work?

I agree with everyone else, a whole day to leave your dog is too long. We got our dog Tex because I work part-time and am around in and out all day. The most I will leave him is 4 hours.
They are definitely pack animals and love the company.
Have to agree that dogs need company throughout the day.
We had our dog Misha for 16.5 years but due to circumstances and where we lived she was only on her own for short periods of time. When she passed away our lives changed and we are now away from the house for long periods.
Although we would love another dog we realise that due to work commitments we cant. So we have registered as dog walkers at our local dogs home, we've made a commitment and enjoy the time spent walking the dogs, although I would love to bring them all home with me I know I can't.

RSPCA has older dogs need fostering so perhaps foster for weekends if really want dog?
maybe friday evenings and someone pick up dog on mondays?

One of my neighbours has two rescued greyhounds - they are fantastic and totally lazy! They each have a sofa and reluctantly leave them to go walking with her twice a day! She works full time (health visitor), but has a dog-walker who goes in around lunchtime to take them out for 45 minutes. ((The aforementioned dog-walker makes a very good living - I'm thinking of changing careers!))
