Maz is delighted to have Happy at work at Triple M

Maz says pets are often in the office at Triple M Central Coast and staff are encouraged to bring their dogs into work any day of the week. This year, Triple M also hosted their first ever Puppy Bowl, a local spin on the Puppy Bowl which is hosted in the USA around the NFLs super bowl.

“The idea being whichever puppy went to the Puppy Bowl first won! We had our listeners represented by each pup and the winner walked away with $500!” said Maz.

Having her dog Happy at work also brings a smile to everyone’s face.

“He gets lots of pats and attention which he loves, and he gets to hang out with me during the day!” she says.

Happy came to Maz’s family as a rescue.

“We adopted Happy after my dad passed away, so he’s been a bit of a grief dog for me,” she said. “My son Henry just produced the name when we asked him what he would name a dog if we were to get one!

“Happy is almost 2 years old now and loves his daily walks with Mum (me). We also have four chickens that Happy loves rounding up in the yard. He loves Greek yoghurt, licky-mats as a treat and running free at the off-lead beach near our house. He is super social, although he has a strong dislike for our postman!"

Maz said she “absolutely love it when my colleagues brings their pet in to work. Of course, you need to be mindful that it is a good fit, the environment and the pup, to ensure that it’s a positive experience for all involved.”
