dog
It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.
Maxwell
My husband rescued Maxwell at an adoption event in 2012 before we were married. At the event, while all the other dogs vied for potential owners' attention, pawing and barking, Max just sat quietly in his corner, side-eying his crate mate who had just peed all over the shared kennel. That look cemented it--this was our dog. He presented himself as mild-mannered and shy. The people running the event told my husband that he was a cuddler, that he hated to be alone and would need to sleep next to someone. Sure, okay. We can handle that. Besides, he seems so chill and easy-going. Ha! He fooled us for sure.

my favorite & fluffiest coworker
My favorite coworker is also the fluffiest. He keeps me accountable to the little things that add up to the big things—getting out of bed each morning, breathing in some fresh air, laying on the floor to give belly rubs after a stressful client meeting. He brings levity to the monotony by video-bombing each and every Zoom meeting, so much so that my team has created a custom emoji of him in our Slack workspace. On the bad days, his heterochromatic eyes emanate love and solidarity. I work as a senior project manager at Twilio, a tech company in the customer engagement space, and Bennett is my assistant, office manager, Chief Happiness Officer, and two-year-old rescue pup.

My Prince of Peace
Hello! I would like to formally introduce you to Sir Princeton Rutherford Elliott III, but he goes by Prince. He was the most unlikely candidate for his job as my emotional support animal, but time and time again, he rose to the challenge and has taken his role to new levels. In my opinion, he should be inducted into the emPAWyee Hall of Fame, if there is one.

Snowy my Dream Dog
Snowy was a College graduation gift from my Mom. He was born February 24, 1996. Funny , he was born on day my grandfather died. I got him two months after my grandfather died. The breeder said he was no good to breed, he had only one tentacles. He was beautiful to me. I had two cats , Richard and Tiger.

Broccoli and Dogs Don't Mix
I can remember so many stories about my late pug throughout her years, but one that stuck out was when I was around nine years old and my family was around the dinner table eating dinner. It was a normal evening; we were enjoying a roast my mom made for dinner and my parents were about to finish up and head over to the living room to watch tv like we did every night, so I tried to throw the rest of my food away.

My Dog's Letter To Me From Doggy Jail
Dearest Mother — I write to you from doggy jail, a Hellish place from which all hope has fled. You have lured me lo these many years to this place you call “the office” by speaking those magical words against which I have no defense—“Go for a ride?”— only to lock me within this glass chamber you sometimes call “the conference room.”

From impulse puppy to hired security
Almost two years ago, in a bout of depression and loneliness, I went to the local shelter "just to look". I've done this countless times, to give love to the misunderstood dogs, the one-eyed kittens, but never left with a pet.
