This part's about me and your corporate communications, not about Alex.
That said, we do have many things in common, apart from the fact that I seem to do a lot more cooking than he does.
We've both lived in Italy for a substantial part of our lives and we both speak several languages.
I make my living out of this and Alex lets me (providing he gets two walks a day).
I'm also involved in advertising, which many people assume Alex is, too. (Dulux the paint people have had the good sense to choose an Old English Sheepdog as their UK mascot for a number of years).
Finally, to start getting cocky about our territory, we're both amongst the finest examples of our kind.
You've already seen Alex (who sends a warm virtual lick).
His high forehead, alert ears and knowing gaze clearly say it all. He's the what you see is what you get of the canine world - and you get plenty of it.
