I'm incredibly lucky and privileged because I have worked from home for over 5 years now. Prior to that, my wife was (and remains) at home most days. Our 2 dogs (one left now) both definitely benefited from having humans around all the time. However, with good crate training and a calm crate environment, you can leave dogs alone every now and then for a few hours. Although I'd much prefer, in my perfect little daydream utopia, that more people recognized the symbiotic relationship between humans and dogs, and allowed dogs to remain with their humans more often. Especially at work, as long as those with issues with dogs can work safely.
