    From paternity to pawternity... Just seen this in the news today: A company has announced employees can take a week off when they get a new puppy or rescue dog: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39579540


    The company (Brewdog) has apparently always been dog-friendly, and allows employees to take their pets to work with them. I hope that this rule applies to the office staff and not to those who are making the beer - I for one don't fancy finding dog hair (or worse!) at the bottom of a bottle of beer! I am so curious to know whether workers can take their children in with them too, or if it is just dog-owners who benefit...


    Would also be curious to know what the take-up rate of enhanced paternity leave is in relation to those taking "pawternity" leave!
