Dogs are mostly ignored by organization theory despite the existence of a rich literature on human–animal studies that helps theoretical extension in the direction of organization studies. We discuss why and to what extent dogs are important actors in the lives of organizations and discuss reasons that explain such relevance in functional and symbolic terms. Overall, we suggest that dogs can constitute another indicator of organizational diversity and explain why their presence in organizations is more than just a fad.2389197618676855644990engcritical animal studiesdogshuman–animal studiesleadershiporganizationsArts and Humanities (miscellaneous)General Social SciencesStrategy and ManagementManagement of Technology and Innovationjournal article10.1177/0018726718780210https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85050298775
