Hank “the tank” is owned by my good friend Kate. A few years ago we went on a road trip to get this “little” guy as a new born puppy up in Orillia, Ontario.

Over 15 hours later we arrived back in Ottawa with Hank who, at the time, could barely lift his gargantuan head off the floor.

Kate has graciously offered up Hank as the official mascot for my company, i.a. consultants. Weighing in at a whopping 145 pounds, Hank is a pure-bred Bullmastiff and easily one of the gentlest and kindest dogs I’ve ever met.

I look forward to bringing Hank to future events to share his years of experience in eating, snorting, and snoozing. I welcome him as an invaluable member of the team ensuring we keep all aspects of work and life in proper perspective.

Here’s to you big guy! (Click on the image for a larger view)
