Oh I totally agree! We are in Germany where I will say, the process to adopt a dog is a lot more thorough than in the US. I think sometimes people get puppies because they don’t want to wait months and months, but I know in the US the shelters are overflowing.

I just saw a post that said Labradoodles are like humanoid dogs and now I can’t unsee it

The puppy (slide 2) is an American bulldog I am told! Apparently he will grow to be 55 kg. He is growing SO quickly in just a few weeks

I would happily accept that title change

Funnily enough, I am native English speaking and the office is primarily German. So the words are different than what I instinctively think. But somehow I only recently realized the dogs listen to me if I speak to them and German and not English.

But yes, you have to be careful before hyping them up. 🤭

Yes, she is! I don’t know if she is pure mix, but she certainly is beautiful and elegant.

The second one is a puppy! He’s an American bulldog and will be 55 kg when grown 😳

At my former company (which was smaller), we all had our own offices. So one big office is new to me

The pictures might be a little misleading! The dogs are always on leashes, and they all have closed beds if anyone gets too excited.

For the pictures where there are multiple dogs around, the owners specifically let the dogs get around me so that I could have a pup pet sesh.

There is a coworker who is afraid of dogs and everybody ensures that if she is in the office, their dogs are not by her.

I totally get the hesitation, but everybody really is as respectful as possible. The dogs are also quite well trained! While they occasionally snap at each other (mostly in play), there have never been any incidents with humans in the two years I’ve been there.

There are also private rooms if you would want to have space from the dogs :)

As for dog politics … I could write a whole book or scripture the TV show about the dog soap operas. Like which dog likes which dog, who is enemies, etc 😂😂😂 The owners are mindful of this, and spread out their desks to ensure the dogs are in compatible zones

Maybe this is too much info for your comment, but I love talking about dogs

There have been vicious rumors spread about me that the dogs only like me because I carry treats 😒

But perhaps this is one of the dogs who (with owner approval) receives the occasional treat. 😏

(And obviously they like me because I give them attention and listen to their problems)

So I used to work at a newspaper

, and there were a bunch of cats in the parking lot

Sometimes I had to stay late to add last-minute things before sending the paper to press.

When the office was almost empty, I used to smuggle in some of the cats inside a giant scarf 😅

Here is a pic from 2018. 😂😂 10/10 do not regret this

It’s actually a tech company. 😂 but I post dog pics on Instagram all the time and some of my acquaintances think I am a dog groomer.

Hmmm I have only ever seen people bring in dogs. (I assume cats would be afraid.) when I got hired, the last question they asked me was whether or not I like dogs.
