Sheepy (office dog)
Border collie Sheepy has the important task of always ensuring a pleasant working atmosphere. His calmness has an extremely positive effect on the editor-in-chief. When it’s time to eat and go for a walk in the woods, he alerts his owner, who tends to forget the time while she’s working.
