Meet Fonzy
Breed: Rhodesian Ridgeback x English Bullterrier
Barking from: Hamilton
What's up dog?
Our field team make a point to come upstairs in the morning to give Fonzy pats and hugs and even a small game of fetch before they start their day. If they're having a not so great day we love that hes there for some cuddles and an endorphin fix for a pick me up. Fonzy thinks he's a small dog so when we have meetings you will generally find him on someone's lap.
