There's a small shop in our neighborhood in which the owners have a well-behaved dog.  The dog usually spends most of the time napping behind the counter, with occasional "meet and greets" with customers.  My mechanic has what he calls a "shop cat". 

But these are small, family-owned shops. A hobby shop and a mechanic's garage are not the same as a corporate office - where I DON'T think animals are a good idea.  As you mentioned, allergies, toileting issues, barking and other noises make for a difficult working environment.  And who pays the vet bills?  The company?  Would employees have to contribute?

I seem to recall many years ago a company tried "bring your pet to work day" and someone brought in a rather large snake.  Poor judgment all around, especially when the snake disappeared.  I would have flatly refused to work under those conditions.
