Brewery offers paid time off for employees who rescue dogs.
Today: If you work at BrewDog and you’re the new Ma or Pa(w) of a recently-adopted fur baby, you’re in luck: You’ve got paid paw-ternity leave coming your way!
The Scottish brewery, whose website says it started in 2007 as two guys and one dog, recognizes that bringing a new dog into the home can be a ruff time.
So to turn it into a howling success, they announced earlier this week that they’re giving their 1,000 employees around the world (including those working at a soon-to-open brewery in Columbus, Ohio) a week’s paid leave if they become dog owners.
SNIFF: If it’s on the company’s own dime, I have no problem with it.
But this may give a city run by Progs some bad ideas. lol

A good idea in theory but I wonder how many assholes out there that would “adopt” a rescue or stray, take the weeks paid leave then a few weeks later the dog mysteriously runs away. I know that’s pessimistic view of people but I’ll bet it happens.
Given Scotland’s abysmal birth rate, one would think they should stick to the basics.
I don’t see the link in the post, so I’ll put it here.

Dogs are good people. I like this idea.
Thanks – This will make a great Awww Monday post
I’m sorry, I’m going to break away here. What’s more important, your job or your new pet? Because you adopted a frickin’ pet you get paid time away from work?
It’s not like you had the damn thing for 15 years and are having to deal with sending it up, on your own time while you’re away from work.
If you can’t accommodate the proper time/$$ to any animal whether working or not, don’t bring the damn thing home.
Let’s see…..hmmmm, a weeks leave and a dog?
Nope, I’ve got a 7 year old.
Dude, I got threatened with being fired after my 11 y/o girl puked in the school’s hallway and I had to spend four hours with her.
Put the dog in a crate. And that being said, I love my dog.
