Me niether! Not for the dog but for the coworkers! I've been having a problem with a couple of our Knights. One, always tries to sneak pet or will commence talking to Holly when I'm working her. I have to constantly tell him shes working and you can't do that! The same guy pitched a fit when I sat next to another guy who doesn't like dogs much. He moved and the other guy yelled at him. I had to tell the yeller that the other guy doesn't have to like dogs but he does have to allow her to be with me! I have been known to let Holly have a pet fest but its on my terms and without the harness on. This is because I know that Holly knows what the harness means and I want the people to know it as well.

good for you.  this would make me angry.  they certainly don’t respect you do they?
unfortunately for most folks it’s the all or none approach.  i’d go with the none.  the dog should be working ab work.  all day, every day.  i’d let her be a dog a home.  no more letting her run around.  nope.  folks just won’t stop.  you will see.  or, maybe you already have.
why do you want folks to play with her at work anyhow.  
some things i just don’t understand.

Everyone there is great for the most part... many of them have had occasion to interact with Jenny when we're outside... or on Friday afternoons just before closing, she's allowed to run around and be a goofy puppy... A few of my coworkers go around and say good morning to everyone and Jenny gets a token "good morning!"  but I've had a couple of people over the past couple of weeks try and play hide-and-seek with Jenny by hiding behind a far cubicle wall and then reappearing.  This, to Jenny, is great fun... and the comment I've heard more than once was "Jenny, you're supposed to come over quietly so your mom doesn't know!"  The first time it happened, I shrugged it off, told the person who did it not to do it again, and that's been honored... but it happened today with someone else, so I sent an email saying something to the affect of: don't interact with Jenny without my permission... I wouldn't go through your purse, backpack or cell phone, so respect my autonomy and dignity...

> I appreciate that Jenny is loved and adored, and I don't want to hit a point where she is never allowed to interact with anyone... but I will if I have to.  I sent the email after office hours today, so I'm sure I'll hear about it tomorrow.  So if those boundaries aren't respected, or if someone raises a stink, where do I go?  I think I can contact my provincial Human Rights tribunal, or Labour and employment board... I just hope it doesn't get that far.
