Google is officially a dog company, cats and other pets are welcome though
India Today
Google identifies itself as "a dog company" for a long time, thanks to a Leonberger that started it all. Here is a look at the tech major's extremely accommodating policies towards its canine friends.
Google has almost constantly ranked as one of the top workplaces to work at for the past many years. Sprawling offices, expressive work culture and numerous perks are a part reason for this. Another part is the accommodating nature of the technology major that tends to welcome people from all backgrounds and even their pets. It might seem like an outlandish concept, but a look at Google's history will tell you that the company has allowed pets on its campuses for more than two decades now. In fact, Google has often encouraged its employees to bring their pets to work, especially at its Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California. The technology giant even has a cafe at its headquarters named in honour of its original Top Dog Yoshka. Yoshka was the first-ever pet to visit a Google campus. Its owner and long time Googler Urs Hölzle, who is now the senior VP of Engineering at Google, first brought the dog with him to work back in 1999.More Related News
