Have you had a Zoom meeting recently that was interrupted by dogs barking in the background or a cat jumping on your laptop, demanding your undivided attention?

Well, on Thursday, you can have a chance to get in on a Zoom meeting in which pets are actually encouraged to join -- not be hidden in the background or behind closed doors.

Participants are encouraged to bring any or all pet companions they have.

For once, you won’t have to try and silence or hide your pet on Zoom!
