Friday June 24 is Bring Your Dog To Work Day and it couldn’t come too soon. Strikes, a cost of living crisis, the unending psychodrama of British politics, war in Ukraine, rising Covid cases (again?!), polio, monkeypox, climate catastrophe. Honestly.

So who’s ready for just a load of nice pictures of dogs really happy to be helping their human?

Dolly is adorable and loves helping people out as a bonafide hearing dog.

Every day is #BringYourDogToWorkDay for many of our adorable hearing dogs �6

Ozzy really, really wants to help but those big ol’ paws just won’t hold a trowel.

Dad says I'm too big for #BringYourDogToWorkDay but I help him in the garden or sit with him when he works from home. #FollowBackFriday pic.twitter.com/ZIU7L3arKi

Look at all these wonderful companion animals. Couldn’t you just eat them up!

Despite our days being filled with gorgeous animal friends, we love the odd days when a few staff dogs make an appearance!��6

‘Hello. Oh, I’m afraid Waiting for Doggo is all sold out.’

As it's #BringYourDogToWorkDay, we thought we'd get Guide Dog Carlo to pull his weight and take on a shift at Box Office… 📞 🦮 pic.twitter.com/fgvr3TxktZ
