"A good initiative to shelter the strays while it's raining outside," read the video caption. "Do we want to applaud this civilization?"

In addition to providing the dogs comfortable rugs to sleep on, employees also groom and feed the dogs.

A few of the dogs have even been adopted by members of the staff.
