Dog was finally ready to hire his first employee. He knew there were several different ways to go about doing so but before that he wanted to figure out the perfect type of employee to hire. Initially he wanted to hire someone with a mind like his. Someone who liked to take chances in business and changes things up frequently. For that reason he decided it was best to actually hire a fellow entrepreneur, or at least someone with an entrepreneurs mindset. When he did eventually hire that person he realized having another ‘Dog’ around was the perfect fit.
