DO DOGS INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY?

It seems a few happy tails make for a happier workplace. RED HERRING, a magazine and website about business and technology, says pet owners would be willing to take less pay, work longer hours, and even switch jobs if companies would let them bring their dogs to work.

In a poll conducted by SIMPLY HIRED, a job-search company based in California, 66 percent of dog owners say they would work longer hours if they could bring their four-footed pals to work, and 32 percent say they would work for less money if

Rover could come along.

SIMPLY HIRED partnered with Dogster.com to identify dog-friendly companies because, RED HERRING points out, "more US households have pets than children."
