????Dog owners at Google realize they must shoulder the burden of avoiding accidents or a colleague being bothered by their pet. There's a one-strike policy for messes or aggressive behavior. "It's a privilege with a lot of responsibilities," Pedersen says.

????At Zynga, every dog owner registers her pet with the company and provides health records of up-to-date vaccinations. Employees can walk the dogs in a "wooftop" dog park or tie them up outside the cafeteria in a dog-friendly "barking lot."

????When senior producer Sora Bai adopted her dog Itsy, word went around the office that there was a new puppy, bringing visitors to Bai's desk that she'd never met before. "She knows more people than I do," Bai says about the dog, who has helped her owner become more social in the hallways and at the dog run. "I talk more to people than I knew previously because we have the dogs in common."

????So many dogs come to Zynga, whose corporate name comes from the founder's dog, that meetings might include several canines roughhousing. "For new people, it's a little weird because all of a sudden you're hearing four dogs playing in the corner," Bai says.

????A recent study by researchers at Central Michigan University suggests that workplaces with dogs might also engage in higher levels of collaboration and ethical behavior. The 120 individuals who participated in the study scored higher overall on measures of trust, team cohesion, and intimacy when dogs were present.

????"Pet presence may serve as a low-cost wellness intervention readily available to many organizations and may enhance organizational satisfaction and perceptions of support," says VCU's Barker. "Of course, it is important to have policies in place to ensure only friendly, clean, and well-behaved pets are present in the workplace."
