Schnoodle   I   Auckland

Meet Jockey, one of our four Canine Mental Health Supporters. Not only does he have great sea legs, but he’s also been nicknamed ‘The Tranquilizer’ for his ability to keep passengers calm on our test boat when they’re feeling a bit queasy. Jockey always arrives at the office with his energy levels brimming, running to every desk to greet everyone. He knows exactly who goes out to grab coffee from our local café and makes sure he’s there, ready to accompany them. Jockey loves the hustle and bustle of the office, and his funny demeanour always brings a smile and a laugh.

Collie   I   Auckland

Meet Mocha, our amazing 8-year-old office superstar! Born with Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and less than 10% vision, Mocha doesn’t let anything slow her down. While she occasionally slips off pavements and bumps into lampposts during runs with her own, but she can still catch a frisbee with the right light conditions and enough distance to track its trajectory. She’s fantastic for the office’s mental health support—no matter how tough your day is, playing with Mocha always brings a smile to your face. Mocha’s friendly and quiet demeanour, combined with her extraordinary talents, makes her a beloved member of our team.

King Charles Cavalier Spaniel

Mango’s presence has a very positive impact on our team, making a joyful and more relaxed environment in the office. Here’s why Mango deserves to win this award: Mango's primary purpose in the office is to spread joy and provide emotional support 🧘‍♀️ Whether you’re having a tough day or just need a little pick-me-up, Mango is there with her wagging tail and warm cuddles. She can sense when someone is having a tough day and will quietly sit on your lap, offering her warm presence and will leave you with lots of fur so you won’t be able to forget her. From the moment you walk in the door, Mango’s there to greet you with those big, dark eyes, making everyone feel welcome. 

Pug   I   Auckland

Pocky was a COVID pup, she came into my life in April 2021. Since then, she has taken me on countless lunchtime and after work walkies while I WFH, she is the best office dog one can ever ask for. She chills out while I attend meetings, listens when I talk about problems, she's a great secret keeper, no hush money needed! Pocky is named after the snack, who's tagline is Share Happiness, which is really what Pocky was born for!
