Dogs Working From Home is the only Instagram you need right now

Keep your spirits high while in lockdown. - by Laura Barry

WATCH: Dr Harry meets an over-protective cocker spaniel 

While those of us who have pets may be loving the extra time we have to cuddle and fuss over our four-legged friends, other people may not be quite so lucky. It’s scientifically proven that patting a dog for just ten minutes can reduce stress levels, and that having a pet makes you a happier person, but how can we help those who live a life without a pet?

"Sorry, if everyone can just go on mute when they're not talking... Thank You"

Enter: Dogs Working From Home, an Instagram account started by brand manager Mark Polchleb that documents the lives of dogs who are dutifully working from home in their essential roles.

"I just took advantage of the fact that my dogs are at my feet. I thought 'we all need a bit of happiness in our lives right now'," Polchleb told The Guardian. "I think we've all experienced trying to type on the keyboard with the dog edging its head into your hands."

All of us: "Yes, Boss, I've got a completely appropriate and ergonomic WFH setup"

The account now has more than 69.7K followers, and features sausage dogs, pugs, retrievers and every breed in between just tippity-tapping their way through the work week.

"Yes, Susan, the report is coming along fi- " *minimise* *minimise* *minimise* - Don't worry Bear, we're all guilty of a quick online shop on-the-job.

This account is exactly the kind of content we need during these anxiety-inducing times, and regardless whether you have a pooch to keep you company or simply love seeing animals hard at work, this is a must-follow account during the COVID-19 crisis.
