The Team

Pepper

Pepper
Office Mascot

Pepper joined the firm 8 weeks after her birth in 2013. She gets to hang out at the office nearly every day & greet all the staff & clients with a friendly lick. She enjoys interrupting the staff to make them play fetch or tug-a-war with her & she thinks they also enjoy having her around. Her mummy owns the place, so she gets to do pretty much whatever she likes, & because she is too cute for her own good, she just puts on an innocent look whenever anything goes wrong…
