Breed: Neapolitan Mastiff
Barking from: Perth , WA
What's up dog?
Working from home, Theo is a constant and comforting part of my daily routine. His quiet presence brings a sense of calm to the space, whether he is snoring gently in the background or watching the world go by from his favourite spot. He helps create a peaceful and balanced work environment, reminding me to pause every now and then and enjoy the little moments. Theo doesnt need much attention, but just having him nearby adds positive energy to my day. Hes an irreplaceable part of the home office.
Theo is definitely not your average office dog. At over 60kg, he prefers to take life at a slow and steady pace. While some dogs bounce around and demand attention, Theo is content just being nearby, usually stretched out in the most inconvenient part of the room! His sheer size turns heads, but its his calm, affectionate nature that really sets him apart. He brings a quiet presence that makes each workday feel a little more grounded and a lot more special.
