What's up dog?

Max has been an office dog since his first week with me.

1. Gets the team out for mental health breaks and for walks throughout the day
2. Provides stress relief by gently placing his chin on the knee of the team member that needs it the most
3. Plays ping pong or collects the ball for the guys playing
4. Is chivalrous - learnt to open the board room door at the most inopportune time
5. Gets on super well with the rest of the team
6. Knows when the teams call is wrapping up and knows its time to play

2025 NZ People's Choice Award

We believe no dog should be left behind.


Every dog entered into the competition is automatically in the running for the 2025 People’s Choice Award — and the winner will be decided by you, the public.


This year, we’re giving the aroha back to our communities.


Each year, our campaign is supported by a number of incredible charities across Aotearoa that work tirelessly to improve the lives of dogs and people alike. In 2025, we’re shining a spotlight on these organisations and the vital mahi they do.


As part of the voting process, every voter will have the chance to donate to our amazing mental health or dog-focused charities.


It’s your vote, your voice, and your opportunity to make a difference.
