Parker
Office Watch Dog | Certified Mutt
Parker is the offical watch dog at our Burlington office. He's a pointer mix with a penchant for catching Frisbees, and he really likes to think of himself as the reason we all come to work. Constantly on guard for squirrels making their way through the parking lot, his favorite distractions are treats, eating treats, and performing tricks for treats. If you're stopping by the office, he'll be the first to determine whether or not you have anything yummy.
