During National Pet Awareness Month, we're thinking about all the workers who own dogs. Do you bring your dog to work with you? How dog-friendly is your workplace?

Let's take a look at some of the world's most famous offices that welcome canine colleagues.

Kurgo is a dog's best friend

Pet product supplier Kurgo has a vibrant office in Massachusetts that is like a nursery for pooches. 

Workers sit in booths with gates, so they can either keep dogs in or out. The whole office is an open space where animals and owners can interact.

Much to your envy, your dog spends more time sleeping than you. It is therefore vital that you choose the right bed for them so that they can be comfy and sleep well – otherwise they'll be stealing your side of the bed or favourite spot on the sofa!

Crufts 2014 was a roaring success, and featured 524 more dogs than the previous year (which had itself played host to a record number of pooches), as well as canine entrants from 4 previously unrepresented countries; Argentina, China, Serbia and Taiwan.

1. Fluffy fur

The pooches that attend Crufts are always well groomed and end up sporting hairstyles better than most people we know. But there’s always one dog that’s a lot poofier than the rest. We think this might be a competition in itself, but this guy win’s hands down!

2. The human costumes

Three things that are awesome:

1)      Christmas

2)      Dogs

3)      Movies

Therefore, it makes perfect sense that any movie themed around Christmas, which also features dogs, will be the greatest film of all time… right?

Well, maybe not, but there are still plenty of great options out there covering all three cinematic bases.

Whether it be something to sit down and watch as a family, something to keep the kids quiet for an hour-or-so or a guilty pleasure for adults around the festive season, these are Muddy Paws’ top 5 festive fido films!
