Meet Nando
Breed: Greyhound
Barking from: Christchurch
What's up dog?
Nando is very friendly, curious and affectionate. Every time he comes into the office he has to greet everyone by putting his head on their desk. His calm friendly nature helps everyone who needs cheering up. When he is not out looking for pats he is lying on a couch with his legs in the air, a position that brings laughter and smiles all round. He is very good at winning the love of every visitor.
