Just having your friendly pet in the room can decrease the tension and anxiety level in any stressful situation you are facing.

Many successful companies have pet friendly workplaces. Google, that has become an official term in the dictionary and is one of these big names I can mention, has a dog-themed cafe at their headquarters.

Even Amazon has a few office sites that cater to four-legged creatures with dog-friendly water fountains.
With these companies doing so well, may be one day becoming a real national holiday for every business in the world would not be so bad.
