FIRST EVER `TAKE YOUR DOG TO WORK DAY' (JUNE 25)

KING, N.C. (Wireless Flash) -- You've heard about "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" -- but how about "Take Your DOG to Work Day"? It's official: June 25th will mark the first-ever Take Your Dog to Work Day, sponsored by a group called Pet Sitters International. Unlike Take Your Daughter To Work Day, which is supposed to teach young girls how to be successful in business, Take Your Dog To Work Day will be a chance for dog owners to show their coworkers just how great bowsers can be. Kay Calzolari, of Pet Sitters International, says so far 150 companies have signed up to participate in the event -- including everything from a Utah hospital to a china company in North Carolina. To prevent any "accidents" on the boss' carpet, the group suggests that participants only bring housebroken dogs that are well-behaved. Also, a small section of the office should be reserved for doggie "potty breaks" and special "Take Your Dog to Work Day" "poop bags" should be kept on hand.
