Bruno
Canine Executive
(Self-Proclaimed Head of Canine Operations)

Bruno is the self-appointed Head of Canine Operations of the office, with a big bark, a commanding presence, and an unshakable belief that he’s the alpha — especially when it comes to keeping Milo in line.

In the prime of his canine career, he is a frequent visitor to the OSi offices, generally lounging around while keeping a lookout for any opportunity that might lead to a tasty dog treat.

In his spare time, he likes barking at squirrels, cats, and all birds that cross his path. He also has a particular loathing of anyone wearing a high-vis jacket — possibly just another tactic to assert his authority.

  • +44 (0)1892 665752

Milo
Canine Executive
(Contender for Top Spot)

At 8 years old, Milo brings a wealth of life experience to the OSi team — and a calm patience that comes in handy when navigating Bruno’s bossy antics. Known for stealing the show (and occasionally your shoes), Milo is equally skilled at gentle diplomacy and strategic mischief.

During office hours, he doubles as the official floor cleaner, and at home he keeps up the good work when the mini-humans are eating — making sure no crumb goes unclaimed.

He also enjoys tripping up unsuspecting two-leggers, all part of his subtle strategy to remind Bruno that the top spot might not be his alone.
