Gone to the Dogs!

09.12.2014

The Dog Days of Summer have passed, but there’s still some dog left at STUDIO39.

Joining the likes of Google, Etsy, Xynga and more, over this past Summer, STUDIO39 has welcomed a couple well-behaved pooches with open arms.  Aside from the entertainment, there are morale and health benefits to having Fido in the office. In 2012, The International Journal of Workplace Health Management published a study outlining those benefits including reduced stress and boosted employee satisfaction for all that come into contact with the dog.

Pictured Below are faithful hounds, Buckley and Herbert enjoying the outdoors and each other’s company. Herbert, Lauren’s 6-month old hound mix, enjoys long walks in historic Fredericksburg, sleeps all afternoon, and dabbles in paper product taste testing in his spare time. Buckley, Joe’s 7-year old Wired Hair Fox Terrier, is an amazing athlete who participates in agility skill classes on a weekly basis and is the top dog of the canine division at STUDIO39.
