Oso Hoedemaker was adopted from the Seattle Humane Society in 2007. He is half German Shorthair Pointer and half Chocolate Lab. From this mix he has the energy of the pointer, the devotion of the lab, and will fetch until your arm falls off.
He and his human companion, Steve, have a simple bargain — he will be calm at work if Steve runs him hard after a ball once a day. He sleeps on his bed in front of the fire in the conference room or under Steve’s desk by day, getting up only to greet the UPS man (who carries treats), the mailwoman (who has treats), and clients. His favorite pastimes are catching field mice, retrieving, and modeling. To date he has appeared in multiple local, national, and international publications. He travels to all project sites and is willing to go by car, by seaplane, or by boat. His official role at Bosworth Hoedemaker is "inspector," because he likes to inspect all project sites thoroughly and as often as possible.
