FROM TALK, INC.
Talk, Inc. a marketing communications agency in Wilmington, NC, has launched its first annual “Top Dog” Hardest Working Dog Contest as part of its month-long celebration of Take Your Dog to Work Day (TYDTWD) on Friday, June 25th. The contest celebrates dogs who work tirelessly and faithfully to keep their loved ones happy and stress free each and every day.
Talk encourages all dog owners – both those who take their canine companions to work and those who don’t – to nominate their pup for “Top Dog” in Greater Wilmington. To enter, participants are asked to email a photo of their dog to topdog@talkinc.com with a brief explanation of why their furry friend deserves the hardest working dog honors. The contest is restricted to residents of New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick counties.
Entries will be posted on Talk’s blog www.talkinc.com/blog on Monday, June 14 and visitors can vote for their favorite “top dog” once a day through Monday, June 21. The winning dog will be announced on Friday, June 25 – National Take Your Dog to Work Day — and presented with a Top Dog certificate and a gift basket full of goodies for both dog and dog owner. The winner will also be featured on Talk’s blog and Facebook page.
Debbie Elliott, president of Talk, brings her dog Camden to the Talk offices every day and has been doing so since 2003. Camden’s official title is “News Hound” and her unofficial duties include office greeter, muse, stress reliever and cheerleader.
“Having Camden in the office is a real joy, both for me and the entire staff,” said Elliott. “We adopted Camden from a shelter in 2003 and she is living proof that shelter dogs often make the very best pets. She is a great ambassador and makes the work day more fun and relaxing. This year, we decided to honor other dogs like Camden who work hard each and every day to keep their families and co-workers happy.”
