Should the Bring Your Dog to Work Program be put into affect? Some people may think so but other's not so much. In my opinion, Bringing your dog to work would be a terrible idea and here's why. First off, Not everyone is comfortable with dogs in a workplace, Some people simply don't like them, while others may have had bad experiences with them in the past. A good friend of mine gets terrible anxiety when around dogs due to a bad experience he had with one as a child. By allowing dogs into the workplace, some people may feel very uncomfortable with them being around them, leading to slower workpace and distress. Some people may be okay with them, but others wouldn't. Every employee is entitled to a safe,healthy working environment, and …show more content…
Dogs carry a large amount of bacteria and germs that may spread throughout the work area, causing employee's to get sick and call in sick day's, leading to less work being done. Not to mention untrained dog's may urinate and deficate all over the work area, leading more to the spread of bacteria and germs. This too would contradict a safe,healthy working environment. Furthermore, Dogs are extremely unpredictable, some dog's chew on furniture, other's bark at the slightest noise, some even jump in other's lap! All of this would cost the company money to repair damages, distract workers, and even stress them out. Sure, having your dog at work may help some employee's cope with stress, However, it may have an even bigger toll on others, a negative one. Finally, dog's are high matineance. They have to be let outside,fed,watered, and played with throughout the day. Bringing them to work would require workers to take more breaks then those without dog's. Pet owners would fall behind on work or have to spend extra time at work trying to catch up. Even more, some people are annoyed by dogs. Employee's without dogs would resent other's from bringing their dogs to work. This could cause misunderstandings between
Have you ever had the pleasure of sitting beside an animal on the Skytrain on your commute to work or stood in line beside one at the grocery store? Did you know that there's a difference between service dogs and emotional-support animals? These are one of the many struggles that individuals are faced when in public. The article "Pets Allowed" written by Patricia Marx gives you an inside look on the struggles people are faced with while also explaining the rules and laws regulating emotional-support animals that many aren't aware of. Many business owners are being taken advantage of by pet
I think pets should not even be allowed to even be in a workplace due to the fact that some people are actually terrified of dogs and bring them into a workplace can cause a lot of problems. The only reason I feel this way is because of the fact that animals can be huge a distraction to the workers and customers, they will require a lot of attention like stopping to feed them, give them water, taking them to use the bathroom. Plus, not all dogs are good dogs, you have the nice dogs and the mean dogs, how can a person do their job if you see dogs running back and forth, barking, ETC. Another reason can be that some people suffer from allergies. You really can’t bring one if you work in a fast food restaurant. I fully understand if a person that has a physical disability.
“”Good dragons under the control of bad people do bad things”. Eloquently stated by an animated character in the new, How To Train Your Dragon sequel recently released. The same can be said of dogs...” ( Enos ). Pit bulls are one of the most underrated dog breeds to exist and right now, they are facing the chance of expulsion from the U.S.. This would be a cruel, biased, and just plain rude. Pit bulls do many things to make this world a better place and should not be banned by lawmakers.
Dogs are being taken for granted, and people need to realize the importance of why they have dogs as pets. Dogs are more than lazy animals, dumb creatures, or ways of showing off to others. Dogs don’t help with social status, rather they help with companionship, loyalty, trust, and a bodyguard. In my opinion, dogs don’t help determine how poor or wealthy a family is. Maybe people spend lots or little money on a dog, but that just depends on what type of people they are, not what type the dog is. Nothing more, nothing less.
Public dog parks could be very essential to cities. Many people who own dogs have no where to take them, which does not give the dogs any exercise or social interaction. We should treat our pets as equal and satisfy their needs as much as our own.
There is an issue with what is acceptable in our society, I would not characterize this issue as significant, but Farhad Manjoo stresses that this dilemma facing our society needs to be addressed firmly and with gumption in his essay “No I Do Not Want to Pet Your Dog”. Manjoo explains in detail the reasoning behind his sheer dislike of dogs, from the danger presented by a dog’s presence, to the uncleanliness of dogs as well as simply just not wanting to be around them. Manjoo also recognizes that he deviates from the norm with his outlook and that most people would not object to being approached by a dog, his point being the owner should be a more considerate human being. Today in our society we accept all dog owners regardless of their inconsiderate
Dogs should not be allowed in the workplace because they might potentially cause distress and be harmful to some employees. Many people are afraid of dogs. Even the most calm, harmless-seeming dogs have the potential to bite somebody or otherwise misbehave. As Response #2 noted, “Companies are legally required to provide a safe, healthy work environment for their employees.” Some may argue that “when pet
The main reason why people should accept these dogs in school, is because the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA, is an act that includes a part where dogs who are trained to help people with disabilities, are allowed into public spaces. School is considered a public space and the ADA considers service animals as important tools for people with disabilities.
According to Sara Enos, many dogs have jobs which are beneficial to people of all ages. Instead of implementing a meaningless breed-specific legislation, people should strive to enforce better regulations on problematic canines in order to avoid any dangerous incidents. Outright banning an entire breed is impossible— the best option is to prevent problems from arising by requiring every dog owner to properly socialize their dogs. To prevent the disastrous events from taking place, the public—including dog owners— must be well informed with credible facts on “dangerous dog breeds,” instead of being filled with opinions of a person who has no idea to what they are speaking on. To put in short, a dog breed should not be put to blame and have to suffer for what they were taught to do. The pit bull ban is unnecessary and idiotic for wanting to get rid of an entire breed.
If one wants to live a more responsible, more active, and a healthier life style they should get a dog. Obtaining the previously mentioned qualities are great but gaining a best friend is even better. Dogs are intelligent animals and their personalities are one of a kind. With training, love, and patience any dog can become a great addition to one’s family. Adoption from an animal shelter is a great way to get a dog although there are adoption fees most of the money is being used to vaccinate the dog before its taken to its forever home. Buying a dog from a reputable breeder is another option as how one gets a dog. Reputable breeders usually guarantee a puppy’s health. One might have to go through a few more hoops to be able to buy a dog from
They say that a dog is a man’s best fried, but they don’t tell you about the overall cost, responsibility, or convenience about adopting one. Dogs are supposed to bring so much joy to a household, but sometimes they can only fill a void for a short amount of time. When a dog owner buys a dog, do they actually research the things that they are about to get in to? When I bought my dog, Skye, I never really looked into is issues; I just looked at the benefits. I love Skye to death, and I guess I could say that she also loves me to death. Even though someone rescuing a dog may think they are doing something great; they are causing an issue on how they will forever live their life.
Animals on a college campus can pose many problems, however most of those issues can be solved with a little time and effort from those that feel strongly about the issue. Some people say “having a pet is not fair to the other people that are in the building because they may be allergic to dogs or are afraid of them.” An easy way to fix this issue would be to have couple dorm buildings that are specifically pet friendly. Colleges all over the world are starting to welcome pets in their dorm rooms and have created living spaces for students who want to bring their pets. These schools argue that allowing students to take their dog or cat to college allows them to take a little piece of home with them which makes the transition much easier. Schools could also invest in dog parks outside and pet friendly areas that students can take their pets to use the bathroom, similar to the way apartment complexes are set up. This would eliminate any problems that people have with allergies, being scared, or simply just not wanting to deal with dogs in their dorm building. Also, for those that want to live in the pet friendly dorm buildings there should be an extra fee for having a pet which would pay for extra maintenance in those dorm buildings and the pet friendly areas

The perfect dog sits, stays, rolls over and shakes .the very moment you decide to take on that puppy thats what most people think the puppy will be nothing but a cute playing little dog with good manners, “you must rely on the solid foundation of these seven things socialization,housetraining,sit,down,stay,come,and to walk nicely on leash. “ (De Vito 16)..From the beginning people have learned that a obedient dog brings upon many benefits for both dog and human.
