throwawaydog

This seems like pretty bad advice, considering my issue with dogs is feeling like I'm going to get bitten. Why would I bring that on myself on purpose.

Thanks, sounds like just bringing it up would be fine (and hopefully doesn't end up labling me a dog hater!).

The whole pets policy seems crazy to me, what's to stop me bringing my SO to work because I enjoy her company.

Do you think it's just convenient for the owner, or is there something behind letting people bring pets to work?
