Awwww wish I could bring in my dog to work as its a lovely initiative and I understand it contributes greatly to well being. Unfortunately our Muslim employees won't allow it as they state dogs are "Haram" unless they are used for hunting or guarding.
Hi Patrick - that's a shame, not least because to me arguably it's denying you and your colleagues expression of their personal religion / beliefs and seeking to impose their own upon you all as employees. I'm no Islamist theologian, but seems to me somewhat unsound as doctrine

Hi David - I don't disagree and having researched the matter it appears that there are conflicting interpretations. Its generally down to the dogs saliva being impure. They are not making the rules but asserting their religious belief which of course is protected. They felt so strongly about it that they stated they would resign and claim claim constructive dismissal! Its easier just not doing it than dealing with an ET1.
