UPDATE: Or should we say pupdate! 🐶🐾 This contest is now closed. Thank you all for sharing your cute pics and pet commentary with us! Congrats to our 3 randomly selected winners @RWelch, @BlakeRichardson, and @Danlu2000! 🎉 and our employee winner 💚💙 @KathleenJ!
The dog days of summer are here (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere), and what better way to celebrate than with International Dog Day today!
We know many of you share your workspace—and your heart—with some very cute, furry, four-legged coworkers (if you’re working from home) or beloved family members. Now’s the time to show them off to the Meraki Community!
We’re hosting an International Dog Day Photo Contest and want to see your pups posing proudly with their favorite Meraki swag or gear. Whether your dog is hamming it up beside an AP, sporting a Meraki sticker, or just looking adorable next to your dashboard setup, this is their moment to shine. 🐶✨
Here are the Meraki Community team's dogs modeling their swag as an example!
How to enter
Comment on this blog post with a photo of your furry companion with your favorite Meraki gear or swag before Tuesday, September 2nd at 11am ET. Employees are welcome to participate as well!
How to win
After the contest ends on September 2nd, we will draw 3 at random to win a Cisco-branded black foldaway blanket. We will also have a prize for our employee participants, and will draw 1 employee at random to win the same:
We can’t wait to see your adorable canine coworkers and celebrate the joy they bring to our lives (and workdays!).
🐾 And don’t worry, cat lovers—we haven’t forgotten you! We’ll be celebrating International Cat Day on October 29th with a special contest. Stay tuned for details! 🐱
So, grab your cameras, some Meraki gear, and your best furry friend—it’s time to show off those dogs! 📸🐾
