When your lovely pet faces some problems, can you go company? Or taking care of your pets? And then, if you want to absent company because you choose with your pet, your boss can understand your circumstance?

Well, probably no. You cannot tell the truth to your boss because if you absent company because of your lovely pets, you get mocked by your boss and other co-workers at least recent social circumstance. But, most people can understand doing absent for your family (like baby or parents)have some problems. Although pets are also precious family, why social perspective is negative about absent or receiving leave because of pets?

  According to this article, pet owners deserve family leave too such as maternity leave. I am in favor of this opinion. There is only one person can take care of pet, is me. Even, they cannot tell me their pain when they suffer from illness. It can be to blame when I absent company, I think that the life also comes first in any situations. Especially, small pets face emergency easily even if pet owners neglect them just a one day.
 
  In recent America, some companies tended to increase offering their co-workers when pet owners lose their pets like having death in the family. These companies’ consideration is not ruled by law, but these companies recognize that the co-worker who lost their pet need to some times to comfort their mind and overcome faced situation. However, the US is also lagging behind the UK in terms of “paw-ternity”. That is, in the US, most co-workers did not offer time off to care for their four-legged kids.
