<\/a><\/p>\nThe majority of Brits support the idea of dogs in the workplace, as 1 in 2<\/a> favour the idea. Pets are important members of the family and considered to be like children by a lot of people.<\/p>\n It’s said,\u00a0that 81%<\/a> of individuals believe that pet-friendly workplaces are happier ones, especially those in which dogs are allowed.<\/p>\n Each day Cooper and Murphy bound into the office. Their energy is infectious, and everyone loves spending time playing with them and giving them cuddles, giving staff a much needed boost.<\/p>\n A survey by Barc London asked about the benefits a dog can bring, and found that 92%<\/a> believed their dogs were helpful in reducing loneliness. In 4 out of 5 cases, owning a dog leads to new human relationships, according to the survey.<\/p>\n In the survey, all participants owned 1 – 4 dogs and were based in the UK. Amongst those surveyed, 18% lived alone and 82% lived with someone else.<\/p>\n Here at Bronco, the dogs sit in on staff brainstorm meetings and when you\u2019re struggling with ideas or suffering from a bit of a block, playing with the dogs can give you a much needed break. They also encourage staff in the office to talk more and engage with each other, whether that\u2019s stopping by a desk for a quick pet of one of the pups or getting together to play with the dogs.<\/p>\nStress release<\/h4>\n
