Take Your Dog To Work Day

Do you feel pain, remorse and utter sadness when you leave your dog at home during the workweek? Then today is your lucky day, because it’s Take Your Dog To Work Day!
Thousands of offices open up their doors to their employees' pets in celebration of "man's best friend" during this annual event, which takes place on the Friday after Father’s Day. Be warned: if you do decide to bring your dog to the office, you probably won't be able to use the excuse that he or she ate your homework! Learn more about Take Your Dog To Work Day and the benefits of adopting a loving dog or puppy.
June is Gay Pride Month & Great Outdoors Month
