Pet of the Week: Rex Brightens the Workday
A pup with personality lifts the mood at a construction company office
Meet Rex, a dog who helps his owner lighten the atmosphere around the office and bring smiles to his construction clients.
Favorite part of the workday: Rex loves to meet employees and clients, and get all the attention he can from them. “His affectionate personality and unconditional love brightens the day and injects it with positivity and fun,” Grigolia says.
If he’s not meeting people, he’s sniffing around the office. He’s constantly intrigued by new smells and wants to investigate.
Break time: This might be his favorite time of the day. He loves to lounge on the leather sofa with his paws up while somebody rubs his belly.
Payment method: If you even whisper the word “cookie,” this guy is going to start running toward you to find his favorite treat.
Playtime: Away from the office, he loves to chase squirrels and run around after his 14-inch ball.

Companion’s perspective: “After 10 to 20 minutes of interaction with him, I get filled with positive energy that helps me look at and approach even most complex matters with ease and a different perspective.”
