No one wants to go back to the office as much as dogs. They are the one group sick and tired of their masters always being around. Many people used their dogs as a preemptive remedy against pandemic induced insanity. There were reports of some antsy dog owners walking their pets fifty, sometimes sixty times a day. Anything to get out of the house. But a dog is not an anti-psychotic. While people drag their heels, diving beneath the sheets in a cameraless, rudderless profession, their own dogs are looking for jobs.
Every office needs a dog. For one thing, it gives the dog something to do. Back when this country actually made things, there was a dog in every factory, a dog on every farm. We put them to work, because, like humans, most dogs are lost without purpose. Cats have pretty names that conjure up images of palaces, while a dog is the more utilitarian beast. Retrievers want to retrieve – papers, tax forms, receipts. Shepherds want to shepherd – interns, clients, fire marshals during the annual emergency exit check. Shih Tzus want to...you get the idea.
I don’t understand how people can’t see this. Your dog does not want to be around you all the time. They need to do something with their lives, away from your home and out in the real world.
So throw ‘em a bone, would ya?
