Purpose
Whether they’re curled up under a desk, joining video calls from home, or making the rounds in the office, dogs have an incredible impact on workplace wellbeing. This award celebrates the ultimate four-legged teammate — a dog that brings joy, calm, and connection to the people they work alongside. From tail wags and morning greetings to emotional support and midday walk breaks, we’re looking for a canine who truly lifts workplace spirits.
Reach
Does your dog support one dedicated human, or boost the mood of an entire team? Tell us who benefits from their presence — whether they’re a loyal work-from-home companion or the unofficial office mascot.
Impact
How has your dog made a difference? Share how they’ve improved mental health, lifted team morale, or contributed to a more positive workplace culture. Include specific examples or stories of their impact.
Quirks and Talents
Every top dog has something that makes them special. What’s their signature trait? Do they have a unique talent, quirky habit, or an unspoken superpower that sets them apart?

Dogs Connect,
is proud to have presented the 2025 Australia Top Dog.
On behalf of the entire OZTOPDOG team, thank you to everyone who entered and helped make our 5th edition such a tremendous success.
The last few months have been about celebrating our furry best friends and shedding some light on their paw-some work. While each entry was uniquely different, the one thing they all had in common was that having your tail-wagging pal around had helped improve your mental health.
