Dublin employers are being asked to consider signing up to the DSPCA's Pets at Work Scheme (PAWS) and extend a welcome to all "canine colleagues".
The Corporate Relations Manager for the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said the scheme is about helping employers transition into a pet friendly workplace.
Suzanne McGovern said the DSPCA provides a six-step guide on how to introduce pets into the workplace in a gradual way.
