🐾🎭 Happy National Dog Day!

Hi, it’s Sadie & Joey, AJT’s official office dogs! We spend our days supervising important things like paperwork, meetings, snack distribution and making sure everyone takes enough breaks. Naturally, we believe every workplace needs more dogs. 🐶❤️

Happy Dog Day to all our fellow office dogs out there!
