For many of us who have become accustomed to working from home, perhaps due to Covid 19 or just out of choice, working from home can be a lonely journey. There often is no glory in this work set up as it takes a lot of discipline to take time out away from your desk.

Having a dog or two can do wonders for a work from home Mom or Dad. As much as they are a distraction from time to time in our working day, this can be a good thing in our lives. Why would this be so?

Dogs understand us more than we can ever know. They sense when we are having a difficult day. They can feel our pain. It is often said that dogs have the ability to take on their human’s pain onto themselves. If they were able to talk they would jump hoops to make us happy and feel better about ourselves, before considering themselves.

Therefore, should you be privileged to have a fur child in your home office, take the opportunity to consult with your best friend in those tough moments when you just need to load off some stress. Take a tea or coffee break with your pup and share some treats together. Go for a walk to clear your head and get your pup energized.

Dogs truly are our best friends. Their intentions are always driven by true loyalty and true love.
