Do you prefer dogs or cats?
When it comes to pets, I’m definitely a dog person! Our head office is dog-friendly, and we usually have four or five furry friends around. I bring my French Bulldog (Lula) and English Bulldog (Elsie) to work every day, and they spend most of their time snoring in my office.
