Beastly many advantages
Stroking a dog’s soft fur is a treat. It relaxes and lifts the mood. In addition, the wagging companion stimulates communication with our fellow human beings, and nice conversations come naturally. Studies confirm that dogs also have all these advantages in the work environment. Researchers at the Commonwealth University in London have shown that having a dog in the office reduces the risk of burnout. Because when people are petted, the hormone oxytocin is released, which reduces stress. In addition, dogs would have a positive effect on the working atmosphere because they “thaw out” even reserved colleagues. And the eagerness to work also increases with the four-legged friends, as researchers from Canada have proven.
stressor
Admittedly, many dogs are nice, likeable and – keyword dachshund look – touch the heart. However, there are others. For example, I can think of the dog that a colleague once brought to the newsroom. Immediately there was a big hello, everyone wanted to say hello to the little rascal. He struggled from one caress to the next. Rest or research was out of the question. The unpleasant end of the story? A small, smelly bunch.
Dogs don’t automatically make everyone happy. Some find the four-legged friends unhygienic, some are afraid, some just don’t want any animals around. And what if the colleague suddenly shows up with a Rottweiler? Even.
