I believe that bringing your dog to work is not a good idea. Many questions come to mind when thinking about the topic.

Second I think about the safety issues, because many coworkers could have allergies or are traumitized by an event that may of happened with a dog. If your dog happens to bite a co-worker, it could lead you to a legal matter, and that would cost you some money. There are many people that are afraid of dogs, some have been attacked or biten before. I don't believe they should feel uncomfortable at work just because you want to bring your dog.

    I agree with (Manjoo) people automatically assume that everybody likes dogs when they see them; meanwhile, people take their dogs out in public and they tend to not think about how other people may feel. If somebody has had a traumatizing experience with dogs and one randomly approaches them, that person would be in a state of panic. I feel as though people have lost the sense of valuing other people’s feelings and opinions.…
