Meet Esky

Breed:  Mini Dachshund

Barking from:  Nelson

What's up dog?

Esky is part of the amazing team at KC & Co. Real Estate. Clients who come into the office always ask "Is Esky here today"? They love to see him and he provides a lot of laughs and great conversations. He loves a cuddle, but does not enjoy getting out of his pumpkin bed when its cold. He is a real team player and gives everybody the same amount of love - nobody misses out on a sniff from Esky in the morning. His job as Head of Security is something he takes very seriously and jumps at the chance to alert us when someone has entered the building, especially the male variety of species. He respects our needs when its work time and will find a toy or chewie to occupy himself, his pig is a particular favourite toy.
