My friend's job kicks my job's ass - Office full of puppies
Edited on Tue Jun-21-05 01:29 PM by KurtNYC
My friend got a new job related to fund raising for a non-profit. He has 6 lab puppies in his office all the time. They have their own door to the outside but live essentially in his office. His job is fulfilling and makes a positive difference in other people's lives.



The organization is Assistance Dog Institute: The Assistance Dog Institute was founded in 1991 by Dr. Bonnie Bergin, the originator of the service dog concept, and founder of Canine Companions for Independence and the Assistance Dog United Campaign. The Institute is an educational and research institution concentrating on teaching and researching ways to “help dogs help people.” This approach differs significantly from that of Canine Companions for Independence and other assistance dog organizations whose mission is primarily that of producing and placing assistance dogs with individuals with disabilities.

If I didn't love the guy so much I would be jealous.

2. My friend works for the AZ Humane society
They're encouraged to bring their pets to work whenever they want (well, not cats, but better-behaved-type-pets).

Must be nice!

Her dog, adopted a few years ago, is the society's mascot, and can be seen the top left corner of their home page - next to the word "inside". As an unofficial mascot, he gets a lot of attention when he shows up at work.
