Sort of related...I live in wine country and it is almost strange to visit a winery that doesn't have a "office dog" wandering around, even in the tasting room(s). My husband works for a lot of the local wineries and he always likes it when the office dog hangs around while he's doing his work. He takes pictures and texts them to me to show me his "work mate" for the day. There have been multiple "Dogs of the Wine Country" type books published too.
Some of these are multi-million dollar companies. Dogs don't seem to hurt their business one bit. A couple places I actually go to visit my favorite winery dog just as much as I go to taste/buy wine. But I am definitely an animal lover.
