 Working from home is a great benefit and one not to be abused. Some professions are more able to work from home than others, but even so, there is something called accountability. 

Dogs are often our closest allies in the home setting. Wouldn't it be fantastic to train our dogs to help with the working from home duties so that we might attend to other items, like dripping faucets? And wouldn't it be even better if they would actually do work rather than just keep the keyboard active, as some validation programs check for?

Enter Rex--the perfect Work at Home Companion! Apparently, Rex had evolved into to more than just a play and walking partner. He, apparently, has become part of the active work at home system. Hopefully, his at home working requirements do not interfere with those of his owner or they might need a create a separate home office!

It is a great pic of Rex. He is truly a great dog and Chris and I look forward to seeing him when we visit. I'm sure he is be up to the work at home task!
