It's no joke. In an effort to promote canine awareness, Pets.com is sponsoring the second-annual "Take Your Dog to Work Day," on June 23. The fact that hundreds of companies participated last year underscores the lengths to which employers are going to provide perks in a tight labor market. One company, Replacements Limited in Greensboro, N.C., allows workers to bring their dogs to work every day. No word yet on whether sons, spouses, or cats are slated for the next installment of the "Take Your ___ to Work Day" promotion.
