THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE COMPANIONTwo years ago during a torrential autumn storm, you found a shivering blue merle puppy huddling under a park pavilion and tucked him inside your jacket.

He rests his heavy chin firmly on your lap, pulling his ears back into tight airplane mode. His right front paw climbs onto your hand, claws lightly hooking your sleeve with pitiful precision.His damp nose nudges your palm repeatedly. Your work has been officially hijacked, and those odd-colored eyes are demanding your immediate, undivided surrender...
