IN DOGS WE TRUST

JOHN MATHER meets some totally pawsome pooches adding value to the businesses of their Wiltshire owners
ome owners are smart enough to let their dogs take the lead in their business ventures. From Larry the lurcher putting the tail into Regent’s retail, and Digger & Mogo’s head of barketing, this Salisbury wag club are everyone’s best friends. [Ed’s note] We wish it to be known Salisbury Life is not catist. We approached several felines during the making of this feature but no cats were willing to be interviewed.
Does he have an official role in your antiques emporium? He’s our Head of Barketing. He features on our business cards, in almost all of our ad campaigns and press interviews. He definitely adds to our customer appeal, both in person and online. Well, the shop is named after him, after all.
DIGGER
This might be a difficult question to answer but does he have a favourite owner? Yosh is Digger’s hero. He’s Yosh’s wingman and shadows him everywhere, while I come a very poor second. However, like a teenager, when he’s hungry, thirsty or cold, he comes to me to sort him out.
Owners: Clarissa and Yosh Reilly, owners of the antiques emporium, Digger & Mojo Tell us a little about Digger’s background... Digger is a Jack Russell of distinguished expatriate heritage from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, where as a puppy he spent hours digging up the beach hunting landcrabs, hence his name.
What’s his attitude to work? Digger would rather be exploring the great outdoors, playing with bunny rabbits and chatting up other dogs, but he is also happy dozing in the showroom and greeting all our customers and their dogs and children. Everyone loves Digger.
