TIL One of Amazon's earliest employees brought his Corgi, Rufus, to work each day. He became such a fixture that the company named a building after him and allows employees to bring their dogs to work. Amazon has over 2,000 four legged "employees", averaging nearly 600 per day.

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 49%.


There's approximately a 99.98 percent chance that you're an Amazon shopper-it's where most of us go for basic supplies and random items that feel impossible to find until, ahh, there it is.

A bit of random surfing and clicking this morning landed us on the Dogs of Amazon page, a virtual pinup board featuring dogs that belong to employees and might be roaming the company's halls right this very second.

A Dogs of Amazon calendar also exists, created in an April-to-April format since pics of the pups pop up whenever surfers land on a 404 page.

Now, more than 2,000 dogs have been registered by employees who want to bring their four-legged friends to work.

For further proof that this is a dog-obsessed company, look no further than its Instagram account.

It's a no-brainer that Amazon's got plenty of dog treats and toys on offer too.
