Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, most workers have been forced to work remotely. In collaboration with the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, we have carried out a quantitative analysis in order to test the influence of dogs on homeworkers' wellbeing during the crisis. The same survey was filled out by 92 respondents during ten following working days. According to the results we obtained, we had to reject the seven hypotheses we had stated before. Nevertheless, the results have suggested several findings: homeworkers feel more socially isolated that workers going to the workplace, homeworkers are less performant on average than workers going to the workplace, homeworkers are more distracted on average than workers going to the workplace and homeworkers having a disobedient dog work more on average than workers having calm dogs. The results did not enable us to draw real conclusions, as there were significant limitations to our analysis.
