Relaxed Dog Superintendent

Many construction jobs are overseen by a Dog Superintendent.

When some Mercer Islander neighbors wanted a new and better pitched metal roof instead of their existing tar and gravel flat roof, the owners' lovely chocolate standard poodle "Hershey" was on the job every day to see that all went well — and it did. Quite a few construction jobs have dogs on duty.

I remember more than one of my contractor(s) who had faithful dog(s) who never let them out of sight no matter what was going on. Please visit this link that tells quite a bit more of the story.
