It’s Bring Your Dog To Work (at home) Day on Friday June 26th – the UK’s best day out in for dogs

It is the 7th annual Bring Your Dog To Work Day on Friday 26th June, and this year we’ve turned this pupular charity day out into an exciting “day in” for our hardworking pawsome pals and their homeworking hoomans.

We’ve got five pawtastic online events on the big day from celebrity judged Dog Shows to an exclusive Rescue Moon Bear Experience live from China celebrating that special bond we have with animals.

This year we are raising money for animal welfare charities that includes the Bring Your Dog To Work Day official charities – All Dogs Matter and Animals Asia.

We’re kicking the day off at 8am when for the first time viewers in the UK will be able to see rescued Moon Bears forage for their enrichment treats at Animals Asia’s sanctuary in China. Get your tissues ready as you hear the heart-warming rescue stories of these beautiful bears and you’ll meet two of the sanctuary’s resident dogs Muppet and ToZhai who were rescued from the meat trade. There will be a Q & A with the CEO and Founder of Animals Asia after the event. Tickets for this unique experience are limited and are a £33 donation (please see below for booking details).

Then the interactive doggie fun starts as we put on put on four online dog shows for dogs and their owners and families who have been ‘working’ together at home. Whether your pooch has been interning for you, running your zoom calls, helping with home schooling, or just helpfully licking the plates in a pre-rinse, Bring Your Dog To Work Day is going to be a huge celebration of all the joyful contributions your best friends have made during lockdown.

A host of dog-loving celebrities including Eastenders Michelle Collins, Downton Abbey’s Peter Egan, Celebrity Vet Marc Abraham, Anna Webb author and host of BBC’s The Barking Hour will judge the four shows. So, come and join us, book online (donation of £10 per four-legged entrant per household to with all donations going to charity). It’s going to be a day packed with joy guaranteed to brush away those lockdown blues.
