So it’s #PetsAtWork day in the UK today, apparently.
Siliconrepublic.com isn’t entirely sure where #PetsAtWork originated but as it has flooded our timeline with lots of adorable photos we’re willing to embrace it.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, dogs seem to be the dominant pet people are bringing to work with them.

Not all the dogs in #PetsAtWork are just in workplaces to hang out, though, with the dogs who themselves have to go to work every day highlighted too.
Like adorable fire investigation dog Sherlock.

And sniffer dog Archie.
While Archie isn’t strictly a pet, we couldn’t resist jumping on the #PetsAtWork trend… https://t.co/6IQ5u0CTCT pic.twitter.com/7OsTso7iIx

While assistance dogs like Ollie also received their moment in the spotlight.

It wasn’t all about dogs, though, cats did get a look in too.

It is all about dogs in the Silicon Republic office, however, with most days being #PetsAtWork day here when our official office dog, Sally, visits.
