Cole your an ignorant ass, you have offended a lot of people & pissed me off.
We love our dogs, and a lot of folks take their dogs along when possible. If your not secure enough with your man hood or lack their of to believe that a person can't love a dog. I feel sorry for you.
Now to discuss the topic, we heard enough about Cole's inadequacy. Shop dogs are cool; but as their guardians we need to make sure the shop is safe for Fido (if he is on the floor as opposed an office). Chips can get in paws, ethylene glycol (antifreeze and tig torch coolant) are VERY toxic and they are sweet tasting.
A lot depends on the dog too, some have that sense of when to clear off in potentially dangerous situation. I hand a lab who came to work with me every day; he had that sense he would sleep in my office and every few hours he would come out see what was going on, say hey to the workers and go back to sleep.
Let us not forget welding, Dogs do not know not stare at the arc, and yup it will damage their eye just as it would ours. So take precaution, this one thing where the dog will be closed in an office if welding or O/A is going on.
