• Shows up every day – and we know that’s 90% of success
• Reminds the team to step away from the desk every now and again and breath (maybe even throw a ball)
• An outstanding listener
• Always brings a great attitude, a wagging tail, sloppy kisses, and unbounding energy
• And understands the importance of a good afternoon nap

To tongue or not to tongue.  That, of course, is the question, posed with no apologies to the late great dog disliker and playwright William Shakespeare. Yes, it’s thought that The Bard of Avon was not that into dogs despite enjoying great comedic success with a dog as a character named Crab in his first play, The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Things might have been different had he run across Ms. Sally, who could have easily handled a great many roles for him particularly those dealing with rejection as she was twice returned to the shelter from where she was sheltered until she was cast in her current role as a family dog.

Her past credits include some off-Broadway work as a rage-filled troubled youth, playing destructive characters known for ripping things off walls and dismembering TV remotes. Her performances were panned by the critics.

Her big break came when she rediscovered her roots as a mixed Labrador, working in summer stock and regional productions as a Tom Sawyer-like character who spends their day chasing birds, fishing, and swimming in the local Wando River and generally bringing joy to her family and co-workers at Rush & Company.
