Rescue Dogs’ Day Out At An IT Company

It was literally a corporate day out for two rescue dogs at the sprawling office space of Purchasing Power, an IT company in Chennai. This was how the US  headquartered company decided to celebrate National Rescue Dog Day (May 20). Many among their team of 160 employees got an opportunity to pet, play and bond with the canine visitors for a couple of hours.

For Aanchal B, a Communications Associate, the experience created a positive impact changing her perception about stray dogs, cats and animals. “I understood the fact that there are so many strays out in the open  that require our help. It made us more open to the idea of welcoming dogs and cats in our homes”.

Jayashree, a Data Analyst wants to adopt a dog sometime. She fell in love with Olive, one of the canine visitors. The experience helped her understand “The loyalty and loving companionship of dogs” and how they can reduce stress and contribute to her emotional and mental well being. She added “I’d definitely adopt a dog and raise in the future. It is a responsibility and requires a lot of commitment and a  sense  of routine”.
