Dogster.com recently teamed up with Simply Hired to create a job search engine that focuses on companies that are dog-friendly.
In a survey conducted by the two companies, researchers found that 66% of employees would work longer hours if they could bring their dog to work with them. 32% of the group surveyed even said they would take a 5% pay reduction to have the employee perk of pups in the workplace.
