Today is “Take Your Dog To Work Day,” an unofficial pet holiday held on the first Friday after Father's day. This event was created by Pet Sitters International and first celebrated in 1999. The holiday recognizes the man's best friend and aims to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs. Although many companies only allow our furry friends this particular day, dogs are becoming a common presence in many workplaces.

Nearly one in five companies in the United States now allows pets in the workplace, according to a survey by the American Pet Products Association, as researchers have found that having dogs in work environments can lead to better teamwork, boosted morale, lower stress, and higher employee retention. To celebrate this day, here are 35 quotes that tell you how awesome dogs are!
