Meet Scrumpy

Breed: Border Terrier

Barking from: Frankton, Queenstown

What's up dog?

Our office wouldn't be the same without Scrumpy. As soon as customers walk in, their faces light up when they spot him lounging in the sun, and his tail usually starts wagging before they even reach the door. Customers often mention how lovely it is to be greeted by him - he has even been mentioned in an online review! He's the little celebrity of the office and truly a member of the team! While most dogs bring comfort, Scrumpy brings a full experience. He's not just an office dog, he's the unofficial receptionist and certified 'play date' officer should another dog come in. He's hilariously dramatic about shifting into the best sunbeam for his 18th nap of the day. And if a customer happens to sit in that spot on the couch, he will strategically plonk himself onto them and into the sun, with a grunt and groan like he's having such a long day in the office. He's not just different from other office dogs, he's a full-fledged team member with a fan club of his own.
