One survey shows nearly one in five U.S. companies allow pets at work.
Millions of Americans believe pets on the job lower absenteeism and encourage workers to get along, according to the survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association.
要是公司老板听说了，肯定高兴。
Pets at Tellme, an Internet telecommunications company, help workers become friends, said Grant Shirk, whose dog Penny is learning Chinese commands from a colleague.
"She can do 'sit,' 'lie down' and 'shake hands,'" he said.
咱们这里时兴给宠物起英文名字，时髦一点的还会用英语给宠物下“指令”，让它们做一些简单的动作。这位美国仁兄竟然学着用“中文”让他的狗做动作，是不是也担心他的宠物，英语达到了可怕的8级水平，弄不好，让人给拐跑了！ 
Interest in pets at work is growing, say organizers of "Take Your Dog to Work Day," set for this Friday. Several thousand companies are expected to participate, up from a few hundred when the event began eight years ago.
6月23日“带狗上班日”
Pet-friendly environments can pay off in a competitive job market, said Phil Carpenter, vice president of marketing at Simply Hired, an online jobs database that has added an option for job-seekers to select a dog-friendly company.
不知道要是去美国开个猫肉、狗肉餐馆，是否会被砸了场子！？
More than 400 companies -- among them Google Inc. -- have listed themselves as dog-friendly, he said
 大名鼎鼎的“谷歌”公司，也位列其中了。
"Take Your Dog to Work Day" is intended to raise awareness of animals in shelters that need homes, said John Long, spokesman for organizers Pet Sitters International.
"Certainly we encourage anyone who wants to take their pet to work, but that's not really the point of what we're doing," he said. "We want to focus on the animals that need good homes. If we can hook good people up with good pets, it's a beautiful thing."
养宠物的，看了别忘了，给它们一个真正的家哦！
