Improving Workplace Collaboration Requires A Dog : Planet Money : NPR

Researchers at Central Michigan University wanted to know if dogs— long acknowledged as catalysts for friendship— had any workplace benefits.

The Economist’s conclusion: more dogs in offices and fewer in police stations.

I agree and that’s not just because I have a dog lying on my feet right now as I work at my desk.

(I swapped out Planet Money’s anxious-looking boxer photo for one dotsara took of my dog—Moulson (right)—and my parents’ dog—Tracker (left)—at a pub yesterday. Because it is adorable. And because Pies & Pints

should allow dogs so they don’t have to look in the window.)
