In a move that I suspect might have dog breeders applying in droves, Virgin Mobile in Australia announced a policy allowing employees 5 days of paid leave when they acquire a new dog or cat under 10 weeks of age. No mention of whether someone with newborn puppies or kittens is covered, but it sure sounds like it SHOULD apply to me. The article also mentions that some companies are granting family leave type benefits to employees with sick pets as well.
