As an introvert, I appreciated the beer fridge when I first started because it helped me get to know the other introverts (everyone). At the time none of my IRL friends were in this sort of work environment so it was something to "brag" about. Back home my family had these visions that my workplace was like google or something and I'm sure they also bragged.
Four years later, I haven't had a beer at work in a long time. At the literal end of the day, I want to go home, relax on the couch and hang with the wife. Right now I'm looking around for a new job because I've realized the current place's motivation for the beer machine is to use as a distraction for the uncompetative salaries and lack of benefits. I geniunely like my co-workers, but the company not so much.
As a side note, all my friends do military contracting type stuff work and get paid substantially more. Four years later, perhaps the jokes on me.
Personally I don't think you should let people vote within a certain breed, its more fun as a free-for-all. That being said, it would be cool to browse through the top ranked within a breed. Most people will be interested in voting non-stop, but some might just be looking for a specific breed to adopt.
And now that I think of it, in order to better categorize the dogs you may want to use tags. That way a dog that is mix of two different breeds would come up under both.
Another thought, it might be cool to get the users fill in certain "stats", kind of like they do on the puppybowl but being becareful not to get come across trying to be too "cute" (I-can-haz speak to a minimum, I don't know maybe that's just me).
Either way, sweet site! I plan to keep my eye on it!
