If we only we could get an adorable ‘hi’ from the adorable pooch, while we are at work! Life would have been a little less stressful, don’t you think so? But we are so thrilled for the employees at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center, who got this cute doggo as their colleague. The pooch named Shiloh is their Justice Volunteer, and he has a great responsibility. What’s his job? Well, he is supposed to greet his colleagues while they are at work at the medical center. The paw-dorable Twitter thread has gone viral on social media, and as it turns out, Shiloh is not the only pooch giving comfort. Netizens share photos of the workplace and fur buddies who regularly visit them, making their work even more fun.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have come across so many videos, photos and tweets displaying how dogs became essential workers; cats and other animals are giving comfort to their hoomans. We have seen dogs taking over the responsibility to buy groceries for their masters, trained pooches to sniff out novel coronavirus among travellers and many more viral moments that only increases our love towards them.
Twitter user Shari Dunaway, whose bio reads she is a Physician, and Bio-Chemical researcher shared the pics of the good boy, Shiloh. “My hospital hired an employee whose only job is to go around saying hi to other employees while they work,” reads the post, with two images of the dog. Since being posted, the tweet gathered thousands of likes, retweets and comments. People are in love with the idea of making the workplace a little more fun and less stressful, as much as possible.
Here's the Tweet:

It is tweets like the above, which make the world a little better. People who are pet parents know exactly how it feels to be around adorable dogs, cats and other animals. Workplaces can be stressful at times, especially hospitals and medical centres during this pandemic. The healthcare workers need some love, hugs and kisses from the fur buddies as comfort, and we are so glad that some places took this seriously!
