Research shows dogs help us relax at work, get to know our colleauges better and even help us negotiate better deals.

“First, dogs lower stress, heart rate and blood pressure, and make individuals who work alone feel less lonely.
-

Finally, it’s likely to increase cooperation and other positive behaviours among members of work groups.”
