People's Choice Finalist

Meet Balto

Breed: Cocker Spaniel

Barking from: Christchurch

What's up dog?

Balto is an office dog in a landscaping company. We have 5 landscape architects, an office manager, an accountant, a nursery manager and 2 nursery hands, 3 quantity surveyors and the director in the office. Balto reminds people to take a break from work but occasionally coming up to them and booping people with his nose to ask for pets. We call him our Landscape BARKitect as he usually chills in the area with the rest of landscape architects. Balto grew up in the office as I started taking him in since he was 12 weeks old. Since then he has become a part of the office family and everyone smiles when he comes around to say hello or brings his toy to ask for a quick tug of war
