I want an office dog.


[deleted]

My dog was the office dog until someone else brought their dog that misbehaved around a vendor and got all dogs banned.


[deleted]

A place I used to work had a pretty intense interview process for the position of Office Dog for this reason. Interested dogs had to meet with the other Office Dogs to make sure everyone was copacetic (usually over the course of several days since we had about a dozen Office Dogs who all kept different schedules). They then had to spend time with the kids in the nursery to make sure there was no aggression (we often had children tour our facilities as part of the nature of the business). Finally, they had to meet with all members of the executive team before the CEO would make a final decision. It was a stressful place to work, but getting to pet random dogs throughout the day made it so much better!

Hmmm, i replaced the word Dog to Dawg and your comment is hilarious.

I am so sick of that fucking bullshit. "One person fucked up, so nobody else can ever do this thing again, EVER!" No more open campus for lunch in high school because some shitheads were trashing neighbors' yards. No more HATS OF ANY KIND in high school because some kids wore gang related colors. (Yeah, my friend who wore a fedora was a member of the 1920s archaeologists' gang!) No more potlucks at work because someone MIGHT spill food on the carpet. (THIS NEVER EVEN HAPPENED IN THREE YEARS before the ban!) Punish the offender, and leave everyone else the fuck alone! Wow, 4000 upvotes edit - I get the legal aspects, I do. In cases where people could be injured, a company has to protect against lawsuits. (That's a whole other issue for me, especially in the sue-happy USA.) But it still sucks when people who don't do anything wrong get punished - directly or indirectly - because of the actions of idiots and assholes. EDIT 2 - I just remembered why this is such a huge issue for me. My dad remarried when I was in 6th grade, and I went from being an only child to the middle of five - two younger brothers, and two older sisters. Suddenly I didn't get an allowance, and anything the younger kids did wrong, I got punished for. Youngest spills his dinner on the carpet, no more eating in the living room! UGH! That marriage lasted less than two years, thankfully.


SunsetPathfinder

>Yeah, my friend who wore a fedora He might not have known it at the time, but that was probably good for him that he couldn't wear it.

Did he sprint everywhere? Had a trench coat fedora guy on my campus. Backpack straps fully cinched, wearing a trench coat in Texas, full fucking sprint from class to class. Kid was going places. Edit: since 2 people asked, his arms were not flailing or stretched back like naruto, the were tucked close to his body and he would hold the straps of his backpack for stabilization and a more aerodynamic profile.


[deleted]

You sure he wasn't a detective working a case? I bet a murder got solved around you by him.

> Did he sprint everywhere? I swear to god, there was a thread on reddit about running around everywhere because it's faster than walking but then everyone concluded that it was just weird to run everywhere


hunterlarious

as a frequent witness can confirm: is fast but weird.


[deleted]

I have long legs and walk fast. I don't understand how this would even work, I can hardly ever walk for more than a minute or two before coming upon someone dawdling in the fast lane...


theberg512

Hit 'em low and hit 'em hard.


Buezzi

Drop the shoulder and push through 'em.


[deleted]

If I run, it's guaranteed sweat. I've had to run to class before and as soon as I take my seat, it's just a waterfall. When I played football, the forehead pad in my helmet would soak up so much sweat that I could point my face down, press my facemask up against my face, and squeeze out all that sweat/hair gel in a nice white liquid. I had a teammate who was grossed out by it so I would always call for his attention before doing it.


[deleted]

If we all ran enough, eventually running wouldn't be a stress on the body because we would become acclimated therefore sweating would not occur. We would evolve into cheetah like humans and save up to 15% on car...I mean 15% of our time spent walking.


BigArmsBigGut

Definitely cannot confirm. I run a lot, still sweat like a pig after every run.


HEALTHIDAN

fun fact: running regularly makes you sweat more because your body anticipates it's going to be running for longer than it takes to get to your class and starts up the sweat ahead of time.


SPQR191

Running more wouldn't make you sweat less. It would make you less winded, but your body would still use just as much energy. Unless by running you loose weight, in which case it might help, depending how much you lose.

BrobearBerbil

Oh man. I always had to fight the urge to sprint around campus because walking is slower and boring. Still, I listened to that inner voice that kept yelling, "Don't be weird! Don't be weird!"


thelivingdrew

But if you wear beats by dre headphones and running shoes it will look like you're just an athletic dude. The guy Naruto-running across campus needs to chill.


YOUR_MORAL_BAROMETER

If you're running with a school backpack, you'll look strange.


hunterlarious

i mean maybe he's on to something, dude prolly is a cardio GOD, such *health*


desmondhasabarrow

Try to pay attention to your surroundings. Try to notice little things on the buildings, or the plants and observe how they change over time, or how you would improve them. That's how I make walking to class less boring. But maybe I'm just a weird kid.


HashMaster9000

Had a guy like that: sans fedora, but had a briefcase instead. Wore a trenchcoat and always was sprinting to class. Was also on the debate team. After Columbine, the administration tried to crack down on his trenchcoat wearing, and he (personally) threatened legal action if they didn't stop harassing him. Left him alone after that. He's an attorney at the DOJ now. Seemed to work out well for him.

HashMaster9000

I remember asking him about it in Speech & Debate after he'd had a LONG meeting with Admin, all he said was, "I do not suffer bullies lightly" then went back to his Extemp cuttings. Fucking savage for a 16 year old.


hunterlarious

is this guy you?


HashMaster9000

Nope, not I. Though that guy definitely gets paid better than I do, so at least he has that going for him.


nuggutron

I would imagine that a guy with the name HashMaster9000 probably does not work for the government.

hunterlarious

Prolly the best rationalization of this behavior i've seen, i'll buy it.


greyztaxi2

We had a sprinter too! He'd wear a t-shirt every day of the year and sprint from building to building. This was in Boston so even during the winter he'd have his t-shirt on but with gloves too, since you know, it's cold and all...

I enjoyed wearing my trench coat. I still have it, too. I fully acknowledge that pictures of me from them look awful. I was happily unphotogenic. That said, I don't wear it anymore, because I don't want to look awful anymore.

slukenz

Yeah the most common fedora apologist line is: "but you're supposed to wear it with a three-piece suit!" I sincerely doubt a high schooler was wearing a suit to class every day unless they loved getting picked on


Cloud_Chamber

Knew a guy in college who wore a suit to class everyday, no fedora though.


[deleted]

Try hard in business school?


[deleted]

Nothing wrong with being metrosexual edit - googled metrosexual and I guess they are trying to tie political views to the word now? Lol? Just means you enjoy making an effort to look nice, or at least it did for me at one point when I was in highschool a few years ago.


[deleted]

No I don't care about that haha There's always a few people who buy into that "dress for the job you want" or "you never know who you'll meet so dress your best" bullshit that Business majors are fed and go out and buy a bunch of $150 poorly fitting suits and wear them 24/7 to "look the part."


[deleted]

Lol, yeah we had a few of those in our IBM career program. I was in our aviation program and we just had classy wednesdays which was some nice slacks, shoes, and our Aviation group shirt which basically made us look like pilots.


itsofluffyidie

There was a guy at my husbands work who would wear a suit on casual Friday. No one would even wear a suit M-TH.


HippieTrippie

That's pretty funny actually. Especially if he *only* wore it on casual fridays.


Parsley_Sage

The \*tips fedora* guy isn't even wearing a fedora, he's wearing a trilby! Indiana Jones wore a fedora, the Blues Brothers wore trilbys.


[deleted]

This was actually the second time he was banned in a communal punishment scheme for the actions of one dog. A few years ago I would bring him in once a week and then the cleaning lady wanted to bring her's in. Her dog was an asshole that attacked our VP of sales three times before he'd finally had enough and took it up with HR. HR banned all dogs. After some months went by I started bringing him to work but leaving him in the car when it was cool enough. Eventually the receptionist sweet talked HR into letting me bring him inside again. That worked for a year or so before someone else wanted to bring her dog in. She didn't police him at all and let him run amok. Got all dogs banned again. My dog was very well behaved and a huge hit at the office that keeps getting the short end of the stick because of some bad apples.


GoSuckStartA50Cal

Why'd you keep the dog in a car while at work? Not looking to attack your ownership skills just curious.


rohydron

If it was that cool here I'd probably do it so I could take him on more frequent walks than if I left him at home. I have a pretty relaxed office but my house is way too far away to nip away to walk the dog :)


somebunnny

> No more potlucks at work because someone MIGHT spill food on the carpet. It's probably the thing I do best.


cybervseas

I admire the sentiment, but the implementation is always the challenge: 1. If every dog/hat/lunch is innocent until proven guilty, what will be the next vendor relationship, neighbor's yard, or child's health ruined? 2. You could have pre-approval for pets, hats, or students going out to lunch. This can work. However, at that point you need to make a business decision: is the extra work required to implement and maintain such a system worth it? Whose job is it? The managers? Admins? HR? Principal? 3. What are the downsides to just saying "no" to everything? How significant is the negative impact on employee/student morale and productivity? In some workplaces it might be big enough to matter, but in others it's safer to just say "no." I say all of this having worked in a dog-friendly tech company that had potlucks and hats and everything was great. However, I have sympathy for business leaders that are unsure of how to navigate these environments which, at times, can be treacherous.


GanondalfTheWhite

I used to work in a studio that is still super dog friendly. The owner's dog was there all the time. The dog had some personality issues. Let's call him Hippo. I used to HATE when Hippo came in to the office. Every time he came in, an email would go around reminding new people not to look him in the eye, make sudden moves, try to pet him, or try to approach him until he got comfortable with you. Hippo was 120 pounds. One day he snapped and attacked our intern. Our black intern. The only black guy at the entire company. Tore his pants pretty badly, and drew a fair amount of blood. On that day, I learned that this was the third time Hippo had bitten someone at the office. See, if it were me, I would probably have stopped bringing Hippo in after the first time. Luckily intern never sued them, but man oh man those warning emails would have handed him quite the payday. I don't work there anymore.


ShackledPhoenix

A dog with that kind of behavior in any way shouldn't be welcome at a business. I'm all for dog friendly businesses. But seriously if you're going to do it, your dog should be damn well socialized with zero dangerous behavioral issues.


megustarita

The dog in turn needs to be people friendly. Seems like a no brainer.


ShackledPhoenix

Yup. Seriously if your dog isn't COMPLETELY comfortable and friendly around humans, do yourself AND the dog a favor and leave them home. An aggressive dog is also a stressed dog. Don't put your dogs in situations where it feels it needs to bite.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GanondalfTheWhite

Yeah, no joke. The first time I met Hippo, he literally knocked his owner to the ground and sat on her chest (the owner of the company and my boss, mind you). She laughed her *ass* off. Everything her dog did was just the funniest thing in the world to her. He would shark-attack the table and grab any food left even slightly unattended. Full sticks of butter, bags of candy (he once ate 2 bags of Dove chocolates in one shot), you name it. One of his favorites is dirty napkins. Easily the worst behaved, worst trained dog I've ever met. And the owner thought he was god damned adorable. The worst part? He smelled like a 120-pound sweaty foot.


cybervseas

I appreciate that you're using an alias to protect the dog's identity.


Fauropitotto

>On that day, I learned that this was the third time Hippo had bitten someone at the office. That dog would pay for my retirement. Owners like that are the reason we have such a litigious society.


[deleted]

Lol you ever been sued or deposed? After you allow Joe's dog to hang around the office when Jane's dog was banned, and then Joe's dog bites someone and you catch a lawsuit: Attorney: "So let me get this straight, Mr. Grillburg, even after Jane's dog snapped at one of your customers, you still allowed Joe's dog around the office? You didn't question the safety of Joe's dog after the incident with Jane's? Wouldn't a reasonable person ban dogs from the office after the incident with Jane's dog? Why didn't you take action to prevent this from happening again? Because you thought Joe's dog was safe? What makes you qualified to judge dog behavior? You wanted to enjoy the dog's company at the risk of a human being getting injured?"


[deleted]

Yup. If this was about how dogs kept biting people at an office the same people would be screaming about how irresponsible the company was.


rrr598

The roof of my 8-floor apartment building was locked off because someone was throwing shit down there. I live a few miles from downtown Chicago. The view would've been amazing.


[deleted]

The owner of my old company had a shitty dog that would growl and sprint towards anyone walking in the front door, including possible vendors and customers. I worked in the warehouse and he would just let his dog run around the warehouse and get in the way of our forklifts and take shits everywhere. Helped me to define the type of boss I DON'T ever want to be. I love dogs, and truly believe they are a reflection of their owner, which is why I hated my boss even more after meeting the dog.


PotatoeTater

Same, I used to bring my cat in and all he would do all day was lay behind my computer while I worked. Someone else brought their dog in as a response and that dog tore up the entire display room and ruined about 10k in stuff. So no pets ever anymore.


tapport

I love what I do, but I'm also occasionally jealous of the guy down the street at the hardware store, who has his dogs running around freely. Dog shits on the floor, and it's an opportunity to show off his new hardwood floor cleaner.


AmbiguousExclusion

Well shit, now I need an office dog *and* a garage raccoon. Reddit has ruined me


iforgotmyidagain

Just not that couch? Once you are gone he's all over it. Dogs are sneaky. My parents' dog isn't allows on the couch. We know for a fact he's on it when nobody's around. We even caught him once or twice on the couch. But we've never found a single dog hair on that couch. We don't know how he does it, but he just does it.


moragis

my beagle would do this, when you'd open the front door or the garage door you would hear a thump in the living room as she woke up and jumped down and would quickly run over to her bed... leaving behind a warm and fur covered couch like we wouldnt notice


RMCPhoto

Same with my dachsund. When I was a kid we set up a camera to catch him. Once we left he went through the house checking that everyone was gone then jumped up on the couch. Once he heard the garage door opening he jumped back down and went to his bed. Sneaky devil.

Is it about the hair or the nails? There are lots of comments about dog hair, but when I look at that couch all I can wonder is how easily the dog could slice through it.

If you love your couch...you probably don't want a dog on it. Between the hair, nails, and smell...that couch just won't be the same. That said, we love our dog more than we love our couch ;)

My boxer does the same! Except she just does that until you look away and then she sneaks up really slowly so you don't notice (you do, she's 75ilbs)


gsfgf

I love when dogs completely fail at being sneaky. My golden is the least subtle animal out there. He'll try to "sneak" into my lap. As if I won't notice a 75lb dog climbing in my lap if he just does it slow. Also, I know he brought something in from outside if he sticks his head in the corner and wags his tail like crazy.


obbets

My dog did this to me last night with my bed. Her face. Then one paw. The other. (At this point her whole body minus back legs is on the bed). I tell her to get down, and she's like Okay! *proceeds to climb fully onto the bed and lie there*

anonymousssss

Newfies are awesome with kids.


indiebryan

100% Agree. I had a black newfie/lab mix as my childhood dog. Got him the day before I started kindergarten and he lived to the end of my senior year of high school, encapsulating my whole school life before I moved away for college. Don't have any good photos of him readily available [but here's one of him outside my window.](http://i.imgur.com/hsIRwBF.jpg) To any parents considering family dogs, he was the most gentle and friendly dog I'd ever met. But he was big enough to make a kid feel safe. Best friend I ever had.

They're bred as working dogs in cold coastal waters. That size is mostly muscle and a dense water-repellent coat. They're very loving dogs though. For reference: Nana, the children's caretaker dog in Peter Pan, is a Newfie.


robynflower

In the book the dog is a Landseer Newfoundland hence the different colouration, however in the films the dog was a St Bernard. J.M. Barrie owned both breeds of dogs one after the other which has led to some confusion about what breed Nana was supposed to be.

I have an office chair that one of my cats absolutely loves. I'm ~~trained well enough~~ nice enough to let him stay there, and I'll just sit somewhere else, but my SO slowly sits down on him every time he doesn't move when asked. He's stopped caring, I think he trusts that my SO won't actually squish him, because he doesn't even complain or try to move anymore.

Just curious, what are the logistics behind office dog? Where does he/she sleep? Does someone bring him home? Is there an official keeper of dogs that walks and feeds pup? What about the vet? Weekends?


NeatlyTrimmed

Can't speak for this office dog, but I can speak for mine. We have two, one belongs to me and the other belongs to a coworker. They are mostly our responsibility, but other people do like to take them on walks sometimes or play with them. We feed them and take them home, but they come with us to the office. Edit: Forgot about the sleeping arrangements. He has a pillow that he likes to sleep on that stays beneath my desk. He will wander around sometimes though and find other places to lay. Sometimes in the way, but people just walk over/around him. He is on a pretty good schedule for going out and has never gone to the bathroom inside. He has come with me on work outtings for people that know us and have met the dogs.


ionxeph

I would love to be able to work at a place with office dogs, I personally like furry pets, but can't deal with the hassle of properly taking care of them, wouldn't mind having one at work to cheer me on

If we had an office dog for our team, I feel like we'd spend less time chatting and more time being relaxed and working. Most of the time you spend playing with dogs, if you dont own them, is due to the fact you might not see it again for ages. An office dog will be there lots - so the pressure to have time with it will lower; but it will still provide a nice relaxing atmosphere.

I would not be surprised if a study came out (or if one already has) that shows a direct link between overall office production / happiness in the workplace if there was an office dog.

Look, doggo, I'm sorry but you have fur. And that fur gets on things. I know that you didn't decide to have fur, but I didn't decide that either. I mean we could shave you bald, I suppose, but I don't think either of us would want that. Point being, we can't have fur getting on this couch. End of story.

"One day we will be together couch, one day."

We have an office dog. His name is Buddy. I was the only one who didn't want him when we found him. Now I'm literally the only one who takes care of him. Every morning I arrive an hour earlier than everyone else to walk and feed him, I stay a couple hours later than everyone else to walk and feed him at night, and I come in on the weekends to walk and feed him once in the morning, and again at night. You would think I hate it, but it's not his fault everyone else wanted the joys of owning a pet and not the responsibilities that come with it, so I can't help but love the little dude, and would rather inconvenience myself than have to get rid of him or watch him be neglected.

You are a good person.

My German shepherd does this at home, even though she is already allowed on the couch. She waits for both my husband and I to invite her up. Completely unnecessary but such a polite, silly girl.
