Diba is a German shepherd with an imposing presence and the cornerstone of security in our team. Raised in the heart of Eixample, she was fortunate to be adopted and move to the beach, where she enjoys a hippie lifestyle with long walks and a good daily dip between her trips to the office. Her mission in the team is clear: maintain peace, ensure that Coco releases his daily dose of love, and regulate the volume of the room. Since her arrival, she has shown an innate talent for: 🐾 Security Supervision: no one enters without her approval. 🐾 Noise Control: if the atmosphere gets out of hand, she will step in to restore order and send everyone back to work! 🐾 Image dog: with Diba by our side, no one dares to mess with us. Diba combines discipline and tenderness. She is the guardian of order, the carpet protector, Coco’s guardian, and the official supervisor of volume and workplace distractions. And although her job is serious, her weakness is still a good belly rub. 🐾❤️
