Video: Dog Boosts Office Morale

On September 24, 2025, Yahoo highlighted a video of a Golden Retriever named Cheddar, who has been dubbed an office's "favorite coworker." The video, which first appeared on the publication DogTime, documents how the dog's main function is to distract employees to solicit pets and attention from them. Cheddar has been described as the office's most important employee, with his responsibilities centered on boosting morale among the staff.

The report contrasts Cheddar's role with that of his human colleagues, noting his job does not involve crunching numbers or sitting in meetings. His presence is presented as a workplace morale tool, an alternative to other office perks like coffee breaks. The source did not identify the specific company or its location. The video concludes by showing the Golden Retriever successfully distracting his coworkers for pets.
