What's up dog?
"Every day she comes to work, she puts a smile on everyones faces. She greets people as they come into the office, and they are always happy to see her and give her pets. When anyone is feeling stressed out, they just give Mocha cuddles or pats, and it helps to relive stress. She has a positive impact on everyone she meets at home or at work. She comes into work everyday and makes everyone smile whenever they see her. She helps with stress and bad moods. When days are grey and wet in winter she is the sunshine in my life. People lover her 2 different ears (1 up and 1 down). Even though she is 15 now and sleeps most of the time, everyone still loves to have her around."
