Meet Ruby
Breed: Spaniel-Poodle Cross (Spoodle)
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
She eagerly greets her favourite colleagues (everyone) with a big kiss and jumps up on their lap for pats and cuddles. Everyone feels appreciated when Ruby's in the office. She very much knows who is good for an on-demand scratch and if you stop before she's content she'll give your hand a friendly slap to continue. Most days when we leave the office we'll get a few questions as to whether Ruby will be joining us tomorrow, and folk are always excited when it's a yes. She's also the chief-greeter. Any newbies to our space will be welcomed with a cautious sniff and then a friendly handshake. She's just grown so much in confidence since she became an office dog, and has made the office a happier place to arrive for the whole team on a chilly weekday morning.
