"I'm lucky enough to work in an industry I love, at a fantastic company and have a job I'm passionate about. That said, sometimes work gets stressful. There's nothing more soothing than looking into a dogs eyes and spending a few minutes giving a belly rub to help remember that everything can be managed. In general, having my dog in the office keeps the mood lighter and my favorite part of having her around is how much joy she brings to my teammates. I'm not the only one who benefits from a wagging tail or belly rubs. I see the smiles on our employees faces as they pet her and play with her for a few minutes between meetings. I've also met so many people across different teams who want to come say hi to the puppy. She brings stress relief, relaxation and helps build team camaraderie. To me, she's employee of the year!" — Hilary Sloan, ShopStyle director, business development
