“According to the BBC, smokers at an office in West Yorkshire have kicked the habit thanks to a new canine colleague - Rupert the cocker spaniel.”

“The nine-month-old dog was brought in by managers at Relay Recruitment in Bradford in January to help staff beat the post-Christmas blues.”

The move has now brought even more significant bonuses for the workers that the management is looking like geniuses. The firm had 12 smokers and 4 of them have quit smoking on substituting their cigarette breaks with a 10-minute walk with Rupert.

And this isn’t the only benefit that Rupert has provided. Along with higher morale and giving up smoking, some of the employees are also losing weight as a result of their frequent walks with Rupert.

The firm is planning on adding dogs at their other offices as well.
