The hardest workers across New Zealand: Midyear giveaway winner crowned!

Let’s be honest, around here, every single day feels like "Take Your Dog to Work Day." While we love the office-dog energy down in Wanaka, our recent Midyear Giveaway Competition proved that pups all across New Zealand are taking their daily career obligations very seriously—especially when it comes to "helping" out with those essential deliveries! 

A showcase of Kiwi Canine work ethic 

From July 6th through July 12th, our social media feeds were absolutely flooded with pure, unadulterated canine work ethic from every corner of the country. We asked to see your furry assistants in action, and you delivered beyond our wildest expectations. We watched in absolute awe as ambitious pups aggressively supervised daily chores, backyard projects, and essential home tasks. We absolutely loved every single reel, image, and story tagged to @naturallypawsome.nz. They brought an immense amount of joy to our team and truly brightened up our week.

A heartfelt Thank You to our community 

To everyone who participated, shared a glimpse of their workday, or tagged a friend with a furry coworker of their own: thank you. Reviewing the entries was simultaneously the most entertaining and the most difficult task we have faced all year so far! The sheer variety of "employable" talent in the New Zealand dog community is outstanding. Whether your assistant is a quiet, moral-support supervisor or an active, loud logistics coordinator, they all deserve a massive promotion (and a few extra belly rubs). 

And New Zealand's most employable dog is... 

While we truly wished we could have handed out prizes to every single dog who punches the clock, there could only be one official champion of our midyear competition. Following a massive wave of incredible entries from Northland to Southland, the hard-working pup is Indie and her owner Sheree from Wanaka was officially crowned our grand prize winner!

They walked away with the ultimate workplace bonus: a 5kg bag of Naturally Pawsome dog food and two full bags of delicious 100% NZ venison treats.

We have already connected with our winner's human assistant to get this premium nutrition shipped straight to their workplace doorstep. 

For everyone else, keep those cameras ready and your assistants close. Thank you for making our midyear celebration so incredibly special. Keep up the hard work, New Zealand! 🐾📦
