An office dog has reminded all the freelancers out there that if you start a routine of taking them for a walk at 4:30pm, you bloody well stick to it, by suing them today.
The sassy golden labrador retriever took the unusual step after constant reminders to get away from the bloody desk were ignored by their freelancer.

“It’s been really ruff,” explained Gibson T Dog, “but she brought this on herself. You can’t walk me at 4:30pm two days in a row and then ignore the precedent you set!”
As a loyal Morale Officer, Gibson also cited a pattern of workplace relation deterioration.
“First, she cancelled the morning walk. Then she started closing the door during Zoom meetings. Next, the lunch time carrot started arriving late. And now, walkies don’t happen until 4:32pm. When will it end?”
For the freelancer’s part, they believe the suing (and the barking) is a tad extreme.
“It’s been a busy week! It will return to normal next week. We’ve been working together since 2010, so I thought he knew this. But the calls to the RSPCA and now this over seemingly small things aren’t endearing him to me!” explained the exasperated freelance owner.
Mediation later came to a halt when the aggrieved party received an offer of extra belly rubs, barksketball play time, and an additional half cup of kibble for pain and suffering.
