Wrigley, the chocolate lab, and Kali, the Australian Shepherd Cross, are Surrey Digital Printing’s resident shop dogs. While they couldn’t be more different from one another – he’s a goofball, she’s a lady – they are the best of friends. When they aren’t greeting customers and keeping the staff in line, Wrigley and Kali wrestle with each other, chase stuffed animals, and hang around the kitchen hoping for treats.
