Muz
You wouldn't know by looking but Muz is a Poodle cross.
Muz spends most workdays either asleep in the office at Highfield, hoovering up food in the smoko room or stealing chew bones from reception. He even has his own company uniform. If you haven't met Muz yet I am sure he will make himself known next time you visit us.
