Honoring the Hardworking Pups by Our Side Every Day

Workdays just got a whole lot furrier—in the best possible way. June 20 is Take Your Dog to Work Day, a national celebration of the incredible bond between dogs and their humans, especially when they go beyond the role of companion and become coworkers, motivators, and office morale boosters.

At DogStoreOnline, this day holds a deeply personal meaning. Our founder is accompanied every day by her service dog, a loyal partner who works tirelessly—providing support, comfort, and a quiet, unwavering presence no matter what the day holds. Whether she’s deep in the tasks of running the store or simply navigating life’s everyday challenges, he’s right there, doing the most important kind of work: being her steady anchor.

🐾 What “Work” Means for a Dog

Some dogs are trained service animals who truly serve—guiding, supporting, and protecting their human. Others might “work” by curling up under a desk, offering a tail wag between Zoom calls, or alerting the office when the mail carrier arrives. No matter their role, dogs contribute to our workdays in their own unique, joyful ways.

Bringing your dog to work—whether that’s an office, a home studio, or the front seat of your truck—is a reminder of what really matters: connection, loyalty, and the kind of love you can’t schedule into a calendar.

🐕 Benefits of Dogs in the Workplace

• Reduces stress & anxiety
  Studies show that having a dog nearby can lower cortisol levels and boost mood.

• Encourages breaks & movement
  Midday walks and playtime mean healthier habits for both of you.

• Inspires positivity
  It’s hard to stay grumpy when there’s a happy tail wagging next to your chair.

• Fosters community
  Dogs bring people together. They’re instant icebreakers and make everyone feel more connected.

🖥️ How to Celebrate

• Bring your pup to the office (if allowed!) and introduce them to your coworkers.

• Set up a dog-friendly home office space for your furry “assistant.”

• Give your service dog or emotional support dog some extra love and recognition—a new toy, a favorite treat, or even a thank-you cuddle.

• Share a photo of your working dog and tag #DogStoreOnline — we’d love to see your hardworking sidekick in action!

At DogStoreOnline, every day is Take Your Dog to Work Day. Whether your dog is a service hero, a faithful sidekick, or the CEO of cuddles and chaos, we’re celebrating them—and you.

Here’s to the ones who make the long days better, the hard days softer, and the good days even greater.

🐾 Happy Take Your Dog to Work Day! 🐾
