Right, yes, good, ... a DOG?
Running a startup should be like going into a war about survival -- do you bring your pet dog to the war?

- jyothi 17y agoNo its like you are so busy at war that you don't have time for your dog, may be you live in office (except for bathing). So the dog has to follow you to office for its survival and moreover most dogs are super spiritful creatures and all dogs are great morale boosters.
- ggruschow 17y agoIt's not unheard of ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogs_in_warfare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogs_in_warfare ), after all, people routinely take their best friend into war.. so taking "man's best friend" makes plenty of sense. That said, my office is in a no-pets building, and I'm happy for it. It makes it a non-issue.
- gruseom 17y agoDogs are fun. War is not. I'll take the dog. Your war analogy reminds me of a comment a startup CEO once made to me: "A startup is a war. I am at war, and if one of my men can't keep up I will shoot him." I'll take the dog.
