work

When celebrating heroes in stories, rarely do we think about the animals involved. In reality, animals, and specifically dogs, do so much work for the world. From police dogs to seizure alert dogs and other pawfect service dogs, every single day, dogs are saving lives. So, we thought that it was only right to give these pawfessional doggos who are hard at work the love that they deserve. 

If we could, each of these amazing dogs would get a medal from us for the hard work that they do. We don't know how the world would function without them. They are truly too pawsitive and pawfect for this world. The very least we can do is give them love (and treats) and appreciate them (and pet them all day long).  

Ever wondered what a day in the life of a veterinarian would look like? Well, wonder no more! One Imgur user that goes by grabboid10 has given us a glimpse into her world and it's filled with cats! 

Being a vet is probably every young animal lover's dream. We know it was ours when we were younglings. The only thing that stops a lot of us from moving forward with this dream is the realization that you'd be seeing a lot of sick animals. And sometimes, animals so sick there's really not much you can do. It's a heartbreaking thought but the animal-lovers that do follow this road are strong, and they are so brave. Thank you to all the vets out there who dedicate their lives to helping animals. Seriously, thank you. 

Recently, there was an AskReddit thread asking the vets of Reddit to share what they wish their clients knew, and it's very informative.

Today we're going on a tour into the day in the life of one veterinarian, cats edition. The following commentary is provided by Imgur user grabboid10:

Whoever said cats are lazy, r/Catswithjobs is coming at you to prove you really really wrong. Cats are not laaaaazy, they're just... picky about the jobs they choose. Really, we should all follow by example and only take the jobs that speak to our hearts. Cats are role models - the pick jobs they love and hardly do any work in them. It's a purrfect arrangement.

And they look hella cute doing their very, very impurrtant jobs. So, enjoy this latest collection of hard working kitties, and while you're at it, after you're done saying thank you to these cats, go say thank you to some hard working doggos as well. 

When we think of jobs that we would love to have in the future, since we're animal lovers, they tend to always involve animals. But even more so, as people who love watching animals run wild and be themselves, who love reading stories about animals being released back into the wild, living where they should, we never managed to name exactly what job we would love to have... Until we came across this viral thread by a wild animal technician.

Now, we know exactly what animal related job we would love to have. This one looks like an absolute dream, and we are both jealous and, at the same time, really grateful for all the work ZooWithMegLu does and for her sharing some of her stories working as a wild animal tech.

It is often talked about how pets are a lot of work - you do so much for them and all you get in return is love, right? Wrong. Pets give back so much more than just love. For some people, they're their stability and support, for others, pets are one of the reasons they keep fighting day by day. 

Then, there are dogs who have made it their actual jobs to help people, and seeing everything that they do each and every day truly makes us think that we're the ones not doing enough for them. So, today, we're saying thank you to all of our doggo helpers and doggo heroes. And we're saying thank you to r/dogswithjobs, the subreddit that gives these amazing doggos love every single day!

But it's simply too good not to share with all of you. 

We're all cooped up indoors, at the moment, and some are having a way more difficult time than others. No, parents, we're not talking about you -- but seriously, kudos. We're talking about Anthony Skipper. 

Cicada, a beautiful illustration series by the talented Shaun Tan.

Cicada is the story of an insect working in an office (much like a lot of us), and trying to make it through the day surrounded by people who simply do not care. Shaun Tan writes on his website that Cicada is, "a very simple 32-page picture book about the unspoken horrors of corporate white-collar enslavement... or is it? You never can tell what a bug is thinking."

Here are 10 pages of Cicada and we're already itching for more!

We love animals but do you know what we love even more? Hardworking animals! These pups are hard at work, and while it can be quite ruff sometimes, they always put their best paws forward! 

Here are some fresh new doggos hard at work! If you need even more of a pawductivity boost -- check out the subreddit r/dogswithjobs!

We all know pets make the workplace a happier and more productive place. A new survey has found that 65 percent of American pet parents believe that having pets in the workplace would benefit company culture. That same survey revealed that not only are pets beneficial to morale, but may help with recruitment and employee retention. While not every company has caught up to this idea, more and more offices are becoming pet-friendly in an effort to increase workplace morale and diffuse stress. Once again, Wellness® Natural Pet Food has put together a list of the most pet-friendly offices that go above and beyond to make their employees' furry friends feel comfortable and are setting the bar for what a pet-friendly office can be. So if you want to bring your pet to work, consider applying to one of these companies. 

Having a ruff day at work? Then you really need a break and check out these dutiful pups very hard at work! Is there anything dogs can't do?! Talk about good boys and girls -- these dogs are professionals! 

Every night, one guy left the office on a rarely used fire escape and passed by a dead cockroach...

People have taken their dogs into work countless of times and we just want to know... is it possible to even work while they are there!?
