“Bring Your Dog To Work Day” is what you think it is. It’s a special holiday (on June 21) where dog owners can take their pooches to the office. On this day, dogs are given the chance to become awesome co-workers.

The holiday was started in the United States by Pet Sitters International (PSI). On the other hand, the UK celebrates this holiday by raising money for All Dogs Matter, an organization that rescues and rehabilitates, and rehomes dogs.

Are you excited for the holiday? If you are, know that you don’t need to register to participate. Simply ask permission from your boss if you can bring your dog to work.

Michael Kidd, Harry Stolberg, and Phil Davanzo, US veterans who are suffering from PTSD, were able to seek comfort in pet therapy, thanks to an organization that trains shelter dogs to become service dogs named Paws of War. The organization has been founded in 2014 and so far they have graduated 102 service dogs.

Stolberg shares that his 3-year old service dog, Rocky, wakes him up from his nightmares. Rocky also helps Stolberg navigate large crowds that could trigger PTSD symptoms.

Kidd, who also suffers from severe PTSD, was able to reduce his intake of medication because of his service dog Millie. He says that Millie places her paws on his shoulder and chest as if she’s saying that she’s here for him.

Perhaps you already know the rising trend of emotional support animals. While these animals are not regulated in South Africa, their Employment Equity Act (EEA) says that employers should give reasonable accommodation to people with disabilities.

Employers must ask for medical proof that the employee, has indeed, a disability. Next, an employer shall determine whether having the emotional support animal in the workplace is reasonable. They may be required to grant an employee’s request if the animal does not cause a disruption to the workplace, is well-behaved, and if it helps the individual perform his duties better.

Lauren Salt, an executive in ENSafrica’s employment department, says that employers should not dismiss the requests for emotional support animals no matter how absurd they may sound. However, employers should keep in mind that not all requests will be genuine.

Several people with service dogs have been prohibited from dining at Bombay Grill in Utah by the restaurant owner himself.

Missy Warwood, one of the customers, said that her 5-year old son has Down Syndrome and is accompanied by a service dog named Sage. The owner immediately told them to leave and said, “No dogs,” even after Warwood tried to educate him.

A group of veterans had the same experience. One of the veterans, Bernard, told Fox 13 that she wants the restaurant owner to understand the ADA laws, and that the business is not just rejecting the dogs, but also the persons with disabilities.

The Fully Rescue Educational Development (FRED) Program pairs dogs from the PAW Animal Shelter in Fort Madison and inmates at the Mount Pleasant Correction Facility.

Inmates who show positive behavior are qualified to become handlers. Their task is to train the dogs from the shelter using techniques like those of Cesar Milan. The program is aimed at correcting the dogs’ behavioral problems so that they can be suitable for adoption.

One of the inmates named Darren was able to train 14 dogs since the FRED program was launched in 2017. He was able to train Syri, a dog which he described as “scared to death and wouldn’t have anything to do with anybody.” Another inmate named Zach spoke emotionally of the relationship he developed with a brown male pitbull named Hooch. He says that Hooch is his saving grace.

Wright, one of the people who launched the program, said, “I think it has made a huge difference in the environment here. You see that happy talk and people are petting them, and it just brings a human touch back into the place.”

Did you know that seizure detecting dogs can detect seizures 45 minutes before they actually happen? Just recently, scientists discovered that these dogs are able to use their sense of smell. However, what we don’t understand yet is the exact thing they’re smelling.

Other than that, we know that seizure alert dogs are service dogs, and as service dogs, they’re able to remind their handlers to take their medications, help them reach a safe place, and ask for help ahead of time.

In one study, 100% of the participants reported a higher quality of life with a seizure response dog.
