He goes everywhere with her, whether it’s to mixers or around town visiting members. “He knows which businesses have the best treats,” Guerrieri says. “Charlie is very social, loves people and belly rubs. We meet a lot of potential members because of him. He was born to do this job.” Luca A t just five pounds, Luca is a little fella. A one- year-old pomeranian puppy, he works with Roselyn and Paolo Manca at PM Landscaping. “He’s our ambassador,” Paolo says. “He keeps all the ladies in the office happy.” He also ventures out on landscaping jobs, where his job is to check out the grass to make sure it’s dog friendly. “He loves treats and many of our customers bring a little snack for him when they visit our office.” “Don’t accept your dog’s admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.” ~ Ann Landers
