This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim June 20, 2025, as Take Your Dog to Work Day in New York State, aligning with the national event created by Pet Sitters International in 1999. The resolution highlights the positive benefits of bringing dogs to the workplace, including reducing stress, increasing morale, and improving job satisfaction, while also drawing attention to pet adoption efforts. It emphasizes that the day is observed annually on the Friday following Father's Day and serves as a celebration of the bond between people and their pets, recognizing how dogs can enhance workplace dynamics by fostering camaraderie, providing emotional support, and creating a more enjoyable work environment. The resolution also requests that an official, engrossed copy of the document be transmitted to Governor Hochul, formally requesting her to issue the proclamation.
