MEGA-Dogs of Dairy Farming: Celebrating #BringYourDogToWorkDay

You may have heard that today is #BringYourDogToWorkDay. But let’s face it, if you’re a dairy farmer, the likelihood is that pretty much every day is #BringYourDogToWorkDay!

We thought it was worth celebrating our loyal companions with a gallery of canine content that has popped up on our social media feeds in recent months. 

These are just a few of the MEGA-Dogs of farming that we wanted to share with you this #BringYourDogToWorkDay, along with the reasons we love having them with us every day on the farm.

They’re not afraid of the dirty work!

They’re always there to lend an ear.

Sometimes, as in @eamon_sheehan’s case, it’s great to have someone to listen…
