What's up dog?
Meet Norman - Our Office MVP (Most Valuable Pup!) Norman isn't just a dog he's the heart of our workplace. With his wagging tail, warm eyes, and calming presence, he's the first to greet us in the morning and the last to leave in the afternoon. Norman brings a sense of calm to even the busiest days, reminding us to take a breath, share a smile, and enjoy the moment. Whether he's snoozing under a desk or making his rounds for cuddles, he lifts morale, reduces stress, and builds connections across the team. Clients love him, staff adore him, and the office wouldn't be the same without him. Norman doesn't just make our workdays better he makes them brighter. One thing that makes Norman stand out from all other office dogs is his uncanny ability to sense when someone's having a tough day he'll quietly wander over, sit beside them, and lean in just enough to say "I've got you." He's not just a pet; he's an emotional support legend, morale booster, and unofficial therapist all rolled into one very good boy.
