Dave is our ! We know Dave as a welcome ball of energy with a tail that whirls like a propellor, an eager pup who pops up on his hind legs to join in with a sake tasting. But Ella () tells us that he is sedate, sleepy little fella at home. She also told us that his swag is so strong, that during his time as an office dog, everyone referred to his bipedal colleague with the same name as Human Dave. All we know if he makes our day every time we see him. We ❤️ you, Dave!
