Meet Gus
Breed: Spoodle
Barking from: Christchurch
What's up dog?
Gus has severe seperation anxiety and was unable to be left at home when his parents separated. He was welcomed into the office with mum by a very understanding boss who also has a Spoodle. He proved to be an absolute hit with staff, a cuddle break buddy, a bff to the couriers, a guard dog for reception, and an exercise buddy for the office girls at lunchtime. He is so excited to go to work every morning and is very much a part of the company, featuring in their marketing (tiktok, instagram and facebook advertising) He is also well known by cooperative members, the Board and customers. It has reduced the stress for his mum by having him close and it has improved his mental health too.
