How does having Lotti around improve your working day? It’s much better talking to a dog! We love the atmosphere in the office with dogs making it relaxed and it’s great to know we can always have a quick chat with a best friend!
Does your dog have any funny habits or mannerisms? 9 year old Lotti the Dalmatian is very gentle and loving, although she hates the postman! She smiles and wags her tail on the floor to create a drum beat and generally makes it known that she’s in the office (without distracting us too much.)
