This English Teacher Brings His Corgi To Work Every Day

If you’ve ever had Bring Your Dog To Work Day or worked in a dog-friendly environment, you know how much fun it can be. Who wouldn’t want to spend their coffee breaks in the company of some furry friends? Well, one English teacher in Austin, Texas brings his dog to work with him every single day, much to the delight of his high school students.



Banjo the corgi is super-cute and joins his owner Kenneth Snyder in the classroom daily, where we’re guessing he’s pretty popular. Banjo gained a national audience in March when social media manager Sophie Vershbow, a friend of Snyder’s girlfriend,  tweeted out a photo of the dynamic duo:



“My friend’s boyfriend is an AP English teacher in Austin. He brings his dog Banjo to school every day. Less teachers with guns, more teachers with corgis,” she wrote.

No matter your politics, that sounds like a sentiment a lot of people could get behind! People on Twitter agreed, and the tweet has now been been re-tweeted nearly 70,000 times.

It looks like a former student totally remembered this dog-loving teacher:



For his part, Snyder was surprised that a simple photo of Banjo and him had gone viral. He said the dog has been his constant companion at school (whose name he declined to disclose for privacy’s sake) for the past four years, and his presence seems to brighten up everyone’s days. “As teachers, we work really long hours and it’s a tough job,” Snyder told The Daily Dot. “So for me, it’s nice to have a mental break or a mindfulness — to look at something that loves you and looks relatively happy and calm all the time. I’d have to imagine that extends to the kids.

” Snyder continued that his school began allowing dogs in the building before he worked there. Everyone works hard to make sure the pets don’t serve as a distraction from learning, and he added that none of his students have serious dog allergies. Banjo is so adorable that he certainly is an incentive not to skip class! I surely wouldn’t have minded a friendly corgi in the classroom during my days as a student. How about you?

Dog Lead His Owner To A Mysterios Box In The Mountains, Ended Up Becoming A Father

Image
Sadly, many strays roam the streets of Greece, never knowing what it’s like to have a home or a family to love them. There is also an abundance of abandoned litters of kittens. SCARS, a rescue organization, comes across them all the time. They’ve rescued more than 25 kittens within just one month. One of the SCARS volunteers has a rescue dog named Aragon. They would take Aragon for walks near the mountains, where many pets – kittens, puppies, bunnies, birds – were abandoned in cardboard boxes. Sadly, hungry foxes usually got to them before rescuers did. One day, when they were walking Aragon, he began pulling rescuers toward a box. This time, there were kittens still in it! Aragon was hailed a hero. They got to the kittens just in time, because soon enough, they would’ve been eaten by a fox or another animal, just like many of the other abandoned pets were. Meanwhile, Aragon the dog stepped into the role of their foster dad They took the kittens in and they we...

Dog Training and The Love Fallacy

Image
One of the chief reasons we have difficulty understanding dogs is, paradoxically, because.they've been associated with us for such a long time-so much so that we take them for granted. The first evidence of dog's association with man is found at the Mesolithic site of Star Carr in England about 9500 B.c when the dog's superior sense of smell probably directed man to within bowshot of food animals. Recently in the ruins of Pompeii the lava casts of the bodies of a little boy and his huge dog were found. On the dog's bronze collar was the still legible inscription: "This dog has saved his little master three times once from fire, once from drowning, and once from thieves." The dog had obviously tried to rescue his master once more. * Very few domestic animals were found in the archaeological excavations of Pompeii. Animals instinctively know of impending catastrophe, and obviously most of the dogs fled before the eruption occurred. The night before th...

Korea Doesn't Want Olympic Visitors To See What It Does To Dogs

Image
They said they would keep it secret to avoid giving "a bad impression to foreigners." In the shadows of the star-studded Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, thousands of dogs across the country — some on farms just miles away from the stadiums — lie in cramped, dirty cages awaiting torture before they are slaughtered for food. But local authorities don’t want tourists to know about it. Ahead of the games, Pyeongchang County offered 2 million won (around $1,850) to any restaurant owner who would stop serving dog meat during the games. The intention, officials said, was to avoid upsetting tourists. Pyeongchang County government official Lee Yong-bae told AFP that signs advertising dog meat dishes have been switched out at restaurants near the stadium to avoid giving “a bad impression to foreigners.” A vendor selling dog meat at Gyeongdong Market in South Korea (image has been blurred) | Wikimedia Commons “We've faced a lot of complaints from r...

Dog Leads Man Into The Woods, Soon Realizes The Reason They’re So Desperate

Image
Many animals are born with an innate ability to sense impending danger. Some people refer to this as a sixth sense, while others call it animal instinct. Either way, this intuition is invaluable when these animals find themselves in a threatening situation. When one man was out for a walk with his dogs, he noticed their behavior was becoming more and more erratic. Just as he started to wonder if something was wrong, they began to drag him toward the woods—and he realized he was about to encounter some serious trouble… We may not quite understand how it works, but animals are born with a strong intuition. They always seem to know when a situation might be trouble or even when someone is in danger. Dog owner Mark White of Wixom, Michigan, knew this better than most. Mark was recently out for a walk with his two dogs, Belle and Crew, when something bizarre happened. Little did they know was that it would be the beginning of a situation only Belle and Crew could handle… Ma...
