This majestic beast is the aptly-named Apollo and he is the official office dog, mascot, and until we're ready to spring for something more elaborate, the active security system for KickMotor, LLC.
We're told Apollo is half border collie, half Newfoundland. Regardless of his heritage, he is 100% awesome.
In addition to bearing a paint job similar to the mighty Saturn V rocket, he was turned in to the rescue shelter on the 50th anniversary of NASA's lunar landing.
He also came along just as KickMotor was getting ready to launch, so we took it as a sign of divine providence that it was simply meant to be.
When he isn't providing comic relief, he's usually annoying his three pack mates in the Moschetto home.
(Yes, we have four dogs. All rescues. Lord, help us.)
If you're a dog lover too, KickMotor wholeheartedly endorses the "adopt, don't shop" philosophy. And if you happen to be in the greater Raleigh area and are looking for a new best friend, we recommend the amazing Saving Grace Animals for Adoption.
