ZUMA, D.O.G.

Montezuma El Chapo de La Calle (aka Zuma) is our office dog. He is 3 years old and is a former streetdog from La Paz Mexico. He generally sleeps all day under the front desk at Karla's feet but knows exactly when it is time for lunch and to go home. He is a true "Mexi-Mix" breed. He brings love and affection to our team with his wagging tail, grinning smile, and happy mood. He is currently recovering from knee surgery after trying to protect us from an evil squirrel.
