With people working from home and staying in, our pets are going to be seeing even more of us.
Yesterday we brought you a selection of quarantine cats as people shared their feline friends ‘helping’ them with some work, or snoozing alongside them while they were on a Zoom call.Today, it’s the dogs ’ turn. If you have a bigger dog, it’s unlikely they’ll be climbing over your laptop like cats (though who knows) so hopefully, they’re still letting you get some work done.
There’s already an Instagram account @dogsworkingfromhome to keep you entertained in these difficult days but we’ve collected a few from Metro.co.uk staff and readers as well. Personally, my new colleague Daisy is a delight but I have to admit it’s a bit distracting when she snores and I preferred it when my co-workers didn’t cry outside the door every time I went to the bathroom.
Of course, if you are at home with your pooch, you can still take them for walks if you are social distancing . If you are self-isolating, find someone to help instead.
