Raven
Office Dog & Employee of the Month
The Amazing Raven often accompanies Steve to the office and on property inspections. She was adopted from Black Dog Animal Rescue in Cheyenne, Wyoming (Black Dog Animal Rescue (bdar.org) in August of 2019 after Casey the Magnificent went over the Rainbow Bridge earlier that year.
Raven earned her adjective from customers observing her surprising tricks and exclaiming, “That’s Amazing!” Although her paws aren’t as big as Casey’s or Kali’s, Raven attempts to provide comfort and comic relief to visitors as needed.
Her amazing tricks include solving puzzles, jumping through hoops, tearing apart dog toys, and almost anything else, given the proper treats. You probably won’t be able to see it in the office, but Raven is also learning agility feats, including running through tubes and climbing ladders.
