A little reason to celebrate
Take Your Dog to Work Day
Animal · Fun · The Friday after the third Sunday in June
A day when workplaces open their doors to employees' dogs, bringing wagging tails, shared lunches and a few extra walks into the office routine.

Take Your Dog to Work Day falls on Friday, June 25, 2027. That is 241 days away.
Take Your Dog to Work Day invites people to bring their dogs along to the office, the shop or wherever the working day happens. For a few hours, the dog trades the living room for a desk, a break room and a lot of new smells.
The day itself is usually quiet in a pleasant way. Dogs settle under desks, nap through meetings and greet coworkers who suddenly find reasons to stop by. Some offices set up a water station or a corner with blankets. Others keep it simple and let each owner handle their own dog.
Not every dog enjoys a new place full of strangers, and that is fine. Calm, friendly dogs who are comfortable around people tend to do best. Owners often pack a bed, a leash, water, treats and a chew toy, and plan a few walks so the dog can stretch and take a break from the noise. It helps to check with coworkers first, since some people have allergies or simply prefer a dog free day.
Dogs read a room through their noses and ears, so an office can feel busy to them even when it seems calm to us. A short visit can be better than a full day for a first try.
For workplaces that cannot host dogs, people often share photos instead, so the whole team meets the dogs without anyone chasing a squirrel past the copier.
Ways to celebrate
- Ask your workplace and coworkers before bringing a calm, friendly dog.
- Pack water, a bed, a leash and a quiet chew toy.
- Plan short walks so your dog gets regular breaks outside.
- Share dog photos with coworkers if pets cannot come in.
- Try a short visit first to see how your dog handles it.
