Take Your Dog to Work Day
Take Your Dog to Work Day (sometimes abbreviated as TYDTWD) was first started in 1996 in the United Kingdom and June 24, 1999〔(Take Your Dog To Work Day: Inspiring awareness of shelter dogs (PamperedPuppy.com) )〕 in the United States. Created by Pet Sitters International this day celebrates the companions dogs make and encourages adoptions from local shelters, rescue groups and humane societies. The day offers a summer Friday for U.S. employees to introduce their dog to co-workers; PSI believes that dog-less co-workers will be encouraged to adopt when they witness the human-animal bond. There is also increasing participation in TYDTWD in Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, and New Zealand.〔http://www.takeyourdogtoworkday.co.uk/home/home.aspx〕
==History==
In June 24, 1999 PSI held the first Take Your Dog to Work Day in the United States. An estimated 300〔(Search )〕 companies participated nationwide. 2000 saw the acquisition of TYDTWD by the now defunct Pets.com. Pets.com promoted the event using their mascot, Buddy, the sock puppet. That same year, pets.com closed its doors as a result of the dot-com crash, and PSI regained the trademark.
Pet Sitters International continues to promote the day, which is celebrated annually the Friday before Fathers Day, and anticipates participation in the day will continue to grow. Each year, PSI offers a free downloadable Action Pack, including a sample "dogs at work" policy, TYDTWDay planning tips, event forms and more to companies interested in planning a local event on (Takeyourdog.com ). A photo contest is promoted each year, with a cash prize award to the winner as well as a donation made to an animal shelter or rescue group of the winner's choice.
