Dogs become fixture in Japanese office life to keep owners happy

"I just love watching her get all the love and attention from everyone,” said Hime’s owner Mayumi Shioda, an associate in the corporate affairs division, as she sat down next to the dog on a couch.

The dog office is covered with stain-proof carpet, free dog food and an indoor play area for a toss and fetch session in between meetings. "My bosses and colleagues in other departments I normally don’t interact with come over to Hime and use baby talk to tell her she’s cute,” said Shioda.
