20 June was Office Dog Day. To mark the occasion, we spoke to Markus Beyer, who is the first chairman of the German Office Dog Association.

This special day has been celebrated since 2014. In a recent survey, 88 percent of employees said they would be happy to have a well-behaved office dog in their working environment. According to the association, 48 percent would even be willing to forego a pay rise for this. In 2024, the words ‘office dogs allowed’ appeared in 9,400 job advertisements.
