An Australian Shepherd from Sunbury is continuing to captivate hearts in the office after taking out runner up in the 2023 Top Office Dog competition.
Leading Real Estate Sunbury’s resident office dog, Zard, had the judges deliberating for hours in what was the closest scoring since the competition started three years ago.
Real estate agent and proud dog mum Tiffany Sacco said Zard, who was born in Tasmania, comes into the office four days a week and all the staff enjoy his company.
“He came on the Spirit of Tasmania so he’s a voyager,” she said. “He is very social… what we’ve noticed is because clients see Zard, they bring their dog for us to meet.
“Other real estate agents will come in and ask for him… [and] one of the staff members brings in dog treats for him.
“He can do heaps [of tricks], he can play dead, he can spin, he can go through your legs, he can high five, he can sit on his back legs [and] whisper.”
Tiffany’s husband and fellow Real estate agent Adam Sacco said Zard is a good companion and always manages to get a bit of someone’s lunch.
“He’s a good companion for staff… he’s become almost like a therapy dog,” Adam said. Zard also has his own Instagram account with more than 1600 followers.
