From Zoom-bombing to morale boosting—why dogs make the best co-workers.
By Lynette Newman
At Help On Deck, we’re all about support—from handling your admin tasks with precision to making sure your business runs like a well-oiled (and well-loved) machine. But this August, we're taking a moment to honor the real MVPs behind the scenes: our furry, four-legged mascots who keep the tail wags coming and the vibes just right.
That's right—it's National Dog Month, and we’re throwing our paws in the air to celebrate the joy, loyalty, and surprisingly effective morale-boosting magic of dogs. If you’ve ever worked from home with a dog at your feet (or on your Zoom call), you know they bring a sense of calm, presence, and let’s be honest—comic relief—to even the busiest of days.
Dogs: The Ultimate Co-Workers
Dogs don’t micromanage. They won’t hijack your Slack channel or send passive-aggressive calendar invites. Instead, they offer unconditional support, loyal companionship, and occasional reminders to take a walk and breathe. (We could all use that kind of project manager, right?)
Mascots aren’t just cute faces (though, let’s be honest—Jaxsen and Cass are total showstoppers). They also symbolize a company’s values. For us, that means being approachable, dependable, and always ready to support our clients with a wagging tail and can-do attitude.
Plus, dogs naturally lift spirits. In an industry that thrives on organization, deadlines, and keeping everything running behind the scenes, it’s refreshing to have some paws-itively fun energy in the mix. Our mascots remind us that business should feel human—and occasionally covered in fur.
Let’s Hear It for the Dogs!
Whether they’re curling up under your desk, alerting you to the delivery driver (again), or giving you those “you’ve-got-this” eyes before a big call, dogs make everything better. So this month, take a moment to celebrate the dog in your life—and if you don’t have one, feel free to borrow some joy from ours.
Happy National Dog Month from all of us (and The Wilmore Boyz) at Help On Deck—where loyalty isn’t just a value, it’s a vibe.
