Meet Leo, the Amazon ’employee’ who gets treats, naps and walks during workday

A golden retriever named Leo, known as "Leo the Rescue" on Instagram, has gained online attention for showcasing his daily routine at Amazon's dog-friendly office. The video of Leo's workday, which has gone viral, highlights the perks of being a dog employee at the tech giant.

Leo's day kicks off at 8:30 am when he is picked up by his owners in a car and arrives at the office. By 9 am, he has made his way to his workspace via the elevator. At 9:05 am, he greets another dog at Amazon by saying "Hi Koko."

Following the greeting, Leo treats himself to a banana snack at 10 am before settling down for lunch with his owners at noon. After lunch, he takes a midday walk at 12:30 pm, which is one of the biggest highlights of his job. At 1 pm, Leo indulges in a much-needed nap.

By 3:30 pm, Leo is back to work and eagerly awaiting some petting from his owner. By 4:30 pm, Leo is visibly eager to wrap up his workday. He waits patiently until 5:30 pm before heading home.

Leo's unique work schedule has captivated Instagram users, who have praised the perks of being a dog employee at Amazon. Some users joked about the time tracking, while others expressed their desire for a similar experience for their own pets. Amazon's dog-friendly program, now available in over 129 offices across the Americas, Australia, and Europe, allows employees to bring their dogs to work and offers various facilities and activities to make the experience enjoyable for both pets and their owners.
