Company’s ‘paw-ternity’ raises some eyebrows

It has been something that people have been asking for a long time.  It might seem silly to some but to others in a necessity.  No matter what side of the fence you sit on it has now become a reality.  New pet owners are getting paid parental leave for their four-legged “children.”

A company called BrewDog that started with two men and a dog in 2007 has made a big announcement that is taking social media by storm.  In their statement, BrewDog stated, “We introduced something out staff have been asking about for a while. We just introduced ‘puppy parental leave’ for all our crew.”

This “paw-ternity” allows any staff member with a new puppy the ability to have seven-days paid leave to be with the puppy.

Dog days.

While many loved the idea, there were, of course, those against it posting to social media.
