Meet Chase
Breed: Golden Retriever
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Chase has been part of the Hype and Dexter office / team since he was 16 weeks old.
His calm, caring, curious and funny demeanor has made him a hit since day dot.
Chase has been joining client meetings from the beginning where he could at first sit on people's laps and although he believes he is still that little but in reality is now the size of a small horse means its paws on desks to say hello.
Chase makes a point of greeting each and every person each day when they come into the office. He takes one of his many toys to show them whether they are interested or not.
He is always ready and available for a cuddle, play or to receive a treat when he sees someone walking past where they are kept.
He will join people outside and bask in the sunshine on the shells which is also his toilet but he doesn't mind or with them or cuddle up under their feet in the colder months. Either way there is always a smile on his face which you can see in the attached photo.
He loves to take up half of the couch during our all company presentations.
His personality is loud and infectious but he is not, so he is never disrupting people's day with loud noise or having to be removed from meetings.
He has made his mark and quite frankly people are more excited to see him than they are me and I do not blame them.
Chase without a doubt deserves this award and everyone in our office would agree which is why they have encouraged me to enter him!
