Britain’s Best Office Dog Entries
Over the past few weeks, we have been scouring the length and breadth of the country in search of Britain’s Best Office Dog. We thought it was time that our professional pooches received recognition for the amazing roles that they play in our daily working lives so we launched a nationwide search to bring fame to each and every one…and we were blown away by all of the fantastic entries! We then asked the public to vote and they chose their winners…..
The Results
Congratulations to our very worthy winners who will all receive Muddy Paws vouchers!

“Oscar had the choice of all these dog beds but he chose the cheapest one – good lad!”
Star
Vote for Star via Facebook or Twitter
“Star makes rather extraordinary noises which make people laugh and loves being given biscuits and raiding rubbish bins for scraps. They say dogs lower blood pressure and stress levels and I can definitely say that Star does that. He’s a welcome distraction from office routine.”
Raisin
Vote for Raisin via Facebook or Twitter
“He’s always happy, is always up to mischief and keeps everyone entertained. About a year ago he had to have eye surgery and can now only see out of one eye now but it hasn’t affected him at all, he’s a real trooper and deserves recognition!”
Smudge
Vote for Smudge via Facebook or Twitter
“Smudge spends most of the day chasing his toys around the office, jumping up at delivery men and occasionally partakes in some typing! He also helps keep the office team fit and healthy by insisting someone walks him every lunchtime, regardless of the weather.”
Maisie
Vote for Maisie via Facebook or Twitter
“Maisie loves licking the skirting boards, sweeping the office floor and often finds things we thought we had lost…then eats them. Her favourite food is apple (or whatever you are eating for lunch) and she does a great impression of a pig snorting.”
Jenna
Vote for Jenna via Facebook or Twitter

Tumble
Vote for Tumble via Facebook or Twitter
“At 12:00 each day he comes and bothers me until I take him for a walk in the common, ensuring I take a much needed lunch break. He also attends team meetings and any bad news can be delivered in the “Tumble” voice to remove the sting.”
Jameson
Vote for Jameson via Facebook or Twitter
“Jameson, our non executive director, alerts us when the postman arrives with a loud enthusiastic bark. He is always willing to go for a walk which gets us out of the office three times a day – great for de-stressing when you’ve been on the phone or computer for long periods.”
Daniel The Spaniel
Vote for Daniel via Facebook or Twitter
“Daniel likes barking at people who work in our IT department and running into the CEO’s office to nick any vol au vents he can get his teeth into. He has worked out how to open up handbags and steal muffins and was almost chosen as the next Blue Peter dog!”
DeeDee
Vote for DeeDee via Facebook or Twitter

Katie & Josie

Rufus
Vote for Rufus via Facebook or Twitter
“Rufus is always helping in the studio. Whether it’s shredding paperwork, pruning the office plants, checking our sandwiches aren’t poisoned, giving the furniture that special distressed look or getting amorous with visitors, it’s hard to have a bad day when Rufus is around.”
Joey
Vote for Joey via Facebook or Twitter
“Joey plays a central role to our team, his main job is to make everyone smile – when times are tough you can rely on Joey to make everything seem better, a real life stress ball. He has his own contract and gets paid for his work at a rate of 6 biscuits per hour!”

Murphy
Vote for Murphy via Facebook or Twitter
“Murphy does some great tricks like ‘Bang’ (he collapses on the floor with sound effects), roll over, high-five, wave and commando crawl. He boosts morale and everyone likes to come over for their ‘dog therapy’. He even talks or sings first thing in the morning to say ‘hi’ to everyone.”
Lily & Monty

“Lily & Monty really enjoy being in the office! They love everyone here, especially at lunch time as, after our dinner walk and swim at the local lake, they get everyone’s leftovers! Dogs at work ROCK!”
Yummy
Vote for Yummy via Facebook or Twitter
“This is Yummy, who brings his sense of Zen calmness to the office. We think every office should have one!!
MAcbeth
Vote for MAcbeth via Facebook or Twitter
“This is MAcbeth (MAc) – definitely the best second in command who willingly jumps into my seat to take charge as soon as I get out of it. He is our chief product tester, being the first in our stock delivery boxes, and unselfishly throws himself in the mud when we have a new shampoo to test.”
Bertie
Vote for Bertie via Facebook or Twitter

Fish & Norman
Vote for Fish & Norman via Facebook or Twitter
“Fish and Norman are involved in all our meetings with the pet reps and, of course, love nothing better than to raid their briefcases for sample toys and treats! Fish is able to recognise a pet representative from 40 feet, not bad for a boggled eyed little Frenchie!”
Queenie
Vote for Queenie via Facebook or Twitter
“Queenie literally is the Queen of our office. She sleeps all morning, wakes up dancing with ballerina spins for food at lunch time and then spends the afternoon guarding the office. She adheres to the office dress code and has a bigger wardrobe than most of us!”
Ruban
Vote for Ruban via Facebook or Twitter
“Ruban writes a quarterly column called “Ask the Experts” in the local newspaper. He also advises on our Facebook page e.g. wearing ear defenders on fireworks night! He is used in our adverts and has even given blood and saved the lives of two dogs!”
Sonic
Voting is closed for Sonic via Facebook or Twitter
Sadly we’ve had to disqualify Sonic – clearly he misread the name of competition as ‘Britain’s Best Office Hog’. He looks pretty mean so we’re hoping there won’t be any repercussions from his disqualification.
Karlie
Vote for Karlie via Facebook or Twitter
“Somewhat peeved following his disqualification, Sonic has entered Karlie. Aged 10, she is 11 years younger than her owner. She used to be able to give Sonic a run for his money but unfortunately she doesn’t move quite as quick nowadays and is happy for him to do all the work.”
Magic
Vote for Magic via Facebook or Twitter
“Chief product tester, Magic has a habit of running & barking in his sleep which seems to always raise a smile in the office. The MD’s gatekeeper, he vets any visitors for potential treats. Some comedian has filled our Xmas tree with dog treats this year!”

Digger
Voting is closed for Digger
“Unfortunately, Digger, London Irish RFC’s mascot, has been disqualified, following claims that he is, in fact, not a real dog! Suspicion was initially aroused due to his notable lack of blinking which then opened the door to a full investigation. We apologise to all those who voted for him.”
Blue
Vote for Blue via Facebook or Twitter
“Blue excels when it comes to meeting and greeting guests and is superb at diffusing even the most stressful of situations. He arrives on time every day and his only remuneration is 1 sausage per day from the sandwich shop and the odd apple core!”
Nonu
Vote for Nonu via Facebook or Twitter
“Nonu feels a little over worked and underpaid as we’ve recently increased his duties to office dustbin, keeping the floor clean and answering calls. He is just adorable, offers cuddles when you need it, kisses when you ask for them and brightens up everyone’s day!”
Badger
Vote for Badger via Facebook or Twitter
“Just after I got Badger as a pup, he was attacked and his leg was broken so my boss allowed him to come to work so I could keep an eye on him. Now….well he’s not allowed to leave! Everyone loves him, particularly my boss. He cheers us all up on horrible Mondays.”
Wookie & Obi (brothers)

Vote for Miffy Moo & Molly Pops via Facebook or Twitter

Shenzi
Vote for Shenzi via Facebook or Twitter

Diesel Dog
Vote for Diesel Dog via Facebook or Twitter
“Diesel loves nothing more than curling up at our feet when he’s not patrolling the company. He always let’s us know when there are any visitors coming and he likes to have a mad 5 minutes when you’re on an important phone call! For a so called ‘mad’ breed of dog, he certainly keeps us all sane!”
Dodger
Vote for Dodger via Facebook or Twitter
“Dodger was dumped at only 6 weeks old in a skip. He’s now a great advocate for the practice and is often used for demonstrations. He is just the most social dog who loves everyone and everything! He certainly puts smiles on faces during sad days with his adorable eyes and tricks!”
Mischief
Vote for Mischief via Facebook or Twitter
“Sitting in an office for several hours a day does not come naturally to Mischief although she does it with good humour and the occasional snoring session! However at lunch time she is out in the fields jumping in cow troughs and doing what she does best – being a dog!”
Bella

Molly
Vote for Molly via Facebook or Twitter
“Even at the ripe old age of 77, Molly’s enthusiasm for emptying the bins, taking the post and keeping the office mud and odour free never waivers. She is always on hand for cuddles and her green credentials are faultless – she evens walks to work when it’s freezing as you can see by this picture.”
Tia
Vote for Tia via Facebook or Twitter
“She is chief ‘meeter and greeter’ and would, given half a chance, join all our customers when they set off for a VW Campervan adventure. Tia, aka T-Bag, loves going to shows and events and is a crowd puller – she generally gets more attention than our buses and Classic Cars!”
Dexter
Vote for Dexter via Facebook or Twitter

Bailey Barker
Vote for Bailey Barker via Facebook or Twitter

Darwin
Vote for Darwin via Facebook or Twitter
“Darwin has been described as ‘a human in a dog costume’ because he is so caring. He is also extremely hilarious and goes into a barking frenzy whenever there is a round of applause. He often mopes when his owner is not in the office but he can easily be cheered up with some food… any food.”
Harley
Vote for Harley via Facebook or Twitter
“Here’s Harley looking out for his next pal – that is, the next customer to come in! He greets everyone with a cheeky grin and always has plenty of cuddles to dish out. He’s a real star and definitely deserves to take home first place for his cheering-people-up skills alone!”
Norman

Juno
Vote for Juno via Facebook or Twitter
“We think Juno should win Britain’s best office dog because: Juno is our appointed first aider and is always enthusiastic to give anyone a big slobbery Dober-feel-better-soon kiss. Without Juno, handing out plasters to our 4 boat building apprentices would be a lot less fun!”
Chihuahua Bob
Vote for Chihuahua Bob via Facebook or Twitter
“Bob plays a crucial role in helping to test all new products, but also likes to make sure that all the office admin is taken care of. He runs a tight ship from his chair, keeps a check on the incoming emails, ensures that the “in tray” is kept on top of and inspects all shipments.”

Badger & Hedvig
Vote for Badger & Hedvig via Facebook or Twitter
“The Hounds of HoZ are both rescues (Badger from Four Paws & Hedvig from CAESSR) and even have their own Twitter. They are often involved in the most important decision making processes (wag once for no and 800 times for yes) and are more interested in checking desk drawers for brioches than shredding paper.”

Mia
Vote for Mia via Facebook or Twitter
“Mia is the ultimate office dog. Her attendance record is 100%, although her punctuality is questionable, which is down to her owner if we’re honest. She is, without doubt, the best ice breaker at the start of meetings and smelly, doggy trumps are also useful to get meetings ended quickly!”
Trolley
Vote for Trolley via Facebook or Twitter
“Trolley’s role is ‘quality control supervisor’. All jingles are played to her before release; one clear bark means all is well, two barks indicates remixing is called for, three barks suggests a change of music genre or tempo and four barks means scrap the whole project and start again!”

Vote for Pintxo via Facebook or Twitter
“Pictured here quality testing stationery. The blue pens were insufficiently chew resistant, though the ink scored highly on the permanency scale! He is an excellent product tester, able to predict the winning recipe from blinded samples of most food products, though we’d like him to better distinguish between research samples and staff lunches!”
Bill
Vote for Bill via Facebook or Twitter
“I’m Bill. I work in accounts. It’s not that fun but it’s dead easy. Mainly, I just watch YouTube videos of cats and then open up Excel when the MD walks by.”
Ollie

International Entries
We also received two gorgeous entries from across the pond which unfortunately aren’t allowed to enter as the dogs have to actually be based in Britain. They were too cute not to put up on the website though and maybe next year we’ll go international!
Nangi
“Nangi lives in San Francisco and is a consulting dog. Her clients include Walmart.com, Overtone Inc. and Maclaren Baby. She has met with venture capitalists, lawyers and attended lectures at Harvard Business School. She regularly travels around the US and to Europe where her services are highly valued.

Oscar
“Oscar greets each customer that comes into the office by standing up at the counter and groaning. When we need to load product using the forklift, Oscar is there… he loves sitting next to the operator while loading a semi truck with product. (Please don’t let OSHA know because he is not a certified forklift operator!)”
