Thank you to all who participated in the 2008 event on Wednesday 17 September. This year, thousands of dogs bounded along to work with their owners, in aid of The Blue Cross.

Nationwide appeal in 2008
This year's Take Your Dog to Work Day attracted widespread interest from radio and TV stations and many wonderful stories featured in newspapers across the country. Take a look at our  news and photo gallery to see some of the 2008 stories.

We want to see your photos!
If you took any comical, quirky or cute photos of your dog at work, we'd love to see them. Email them to: press@bluecross.org.uk so that we can post them on this website.

About Take Your Dog to Work Day
Take Your Dog to Work Day is an annual event organised by The Blue Cross which encourages dog owners to spend more time with their pets by taking them into work for a day. 

As well as promoting responsible pet ownership the event also raises funds for the charity, allowing it to continue its work caring for unwanted and sick pets. Registration is free, owners are simply asked to fundraise for The Blue Cross.

Blue Cross 'petiquette'

This year, we encouraged people to teach their dogs what we call The Blue Cross 'petiquette' – simple steps to ensure good behaviour from your dog.
