Good golly, Miss Molly

Andrew Neil, co-host of the BBC’s This Week, has started bringing his Golden Retriever, Miss Molly, to the set.  She’s sat on the sofa next to guests on the late-night political commentary programme.  She even had a snooze in the lap of guest David Starkey.

Taking Miss Molly to the set opens up a whole new category of dog-friendly workplaces and it’s great to see the dog welcomed onto a televised show.  In my opinion, it helps to create awareness of dog-friendly workplaces.

Neil has suggested that Miss Molly might become a bit of a fixture on the show, although not a permanent one. “We probably broke every health and safety rule in the book but she is very well-behaved.”
