Owner: James Mackenzie
Job title: Global Associate Creative Director
Name: Makki Moo @makkitheshiba
Breed: Japanese Shiba Inu
Age: 1
Likes: Cheese! I love cheese. Also fluffy blankets I can snooze on. My cousins are also amazing to play with. And my FAVE thing is digging holes in the garden.
Dislikes: Fireworks - why do you humans do them!?!
You’ll usually find me... Laying on the sofa or chewing the wooden chairs in the dining room (when daddy doesn't notice).
I love my owner because... he feeds me and takes me on walks... also belly rubs!
A plant I’m safe around is a... Spider plant. They love sun, humidity and are one of the top air-purifying plants.

Job title: Junior Creative Artworker
Name: Marcel @Marcel_TheWhippet
Breed: Whippet
Age: I turned a whole 1 years old in February!
Likes: Zoomies with ball, zoomies with dog frens, zoomies with treats, zoomies in the mud, treats, sleeps, sunny sleeps, more sleeps, making frens, the dog treat jar at the URBN front desk. Did I mention I like zoomies?
Dislikes: SHOWERS. Oh and when the treats run out.
You’ll usually find me... zooming around my local park being chased by other doggos (I am the fastest!). Or at home snuggled up in bed during the winter or lazing around in the sunshine in the summer!
I love my owner because... she throws the ball really well for me and she is the perfect cushion for snoozing on.
A plant I'm safe around is a... Baby Palm. They are one of the best air purifying plants, can cope in low light, tolerate periods of draught and doesn’t mind lower levels of humidity. Great for a beginner plants.

Job title: Photographer
Name: Goku
Breed: He was given to me as a kitten by a friend so I don’t really know. He looks like a Norweigan Forest Cat but I'm not sure!
Age: 14
Likes: Treats and to laze in the sun.
Dislikes: The vacuum cleaner
You’ll usually find me... on top or under the bed.
I love my owner because... he feeds and cuddles me.
A plant I’m safe around is a... Boston fern. They prefer humidity so need a bathroom or humidifier. Boston ferns really hate bright light as this dries out their foliage!

Likes: My owners, my squeaky pea toy (the first toy I ever had), sleeping until at least 11am, and myold dog walkers Matt and Emwho I think about every day.
Dislikes: Morning walks, treats from strangers, and dogs that are faster than me.

Job title: Creative Marketing
Name: Henry
Age: 5
Likes: Food and attention, just like my owners. Stealing cheese is a particular favourite pastime, no food is safe near me!
Dislikes: Foil, why so loud? And being moved, it’s my sofa.
You’ll usually find me... in any sunspot, or right in the middle of my sofa, spread out.
I love my owner because... they give me treats and let me walk all over them when they’re sitting on my sofa. They’re also very comfy to sit on.
A plant I'm safe around is a... Maranta. They like high humidity, filtered water and medium light but dislike direct sunlight, cold drafts and rooms cooler than 18 degrees.
