Here at ZUMI. we often talk about what we can learn from our dogs. Whether we’re talking about being a more compassionate or empathetic person or maybe finding more presence in our day to day life… 

Dogs just have this shit figured out.

So if you’re here and you possibly agree with our “woo-woo” (or are even just open minded to it), we’ve got some great news for you...

It’s a process. Not an achievement.

Dogs make us better, it’s a fact and one that even science supports. If you have a dog you already know what we’re talking about.

Humans have a very special relationship with dogs. We have a history that goes back more than 18,000 years and they were one of the first domesticated animals in history

Scientists have proof that dogs make us laugh more than cats (sorry cat people - can’t argue with science), they reduce our chances of depression and keep you from morphing into a human sloth.

So what are some cold hard facts about owning a dog?

Today is a special day at the ZUMI office because we’re celebrating Esha’s 10th birthday!

She’s the last of the office dog birthdays for 2019, so we sorta make a thing of it, even though everyday is a party in Esha’s world.

Also, we do try to keep this level of crazy-dog-people-ness limited to one day a year... you know, for our street cred.

A few months ago we told you all about our Perfectly Imperfect Program.

Today we wanted to highlight one of the amazing organizations that we’re proud to call part of our PIP pack.

Midwest Working Dog Rescue

Limitations are a given in such a small company, but that doesn’t stop us from contributing what we can, when we can.

Which is exactly why we created the  Perfectly Imperfect Program (or PIP for short), a donation program for shelters and rescue organizations around the country.

8%

That’s the average of people who actually achieve their New Year’s resolutions. It’s a staggering statistic and one that ironically, is usually used to try and motivate you to become part of that coveted percentage.
