Cammy Louise Wells, Director of Happiness
Cammy Louise Wells is the Director of Happiness for Wells Law, where she is responsible for our in-house Employee Assistance Program and Wellness Initiative. She is known for her sweet demeanor, love of people, and constant tail-wagging. But don't let that fluffy, smiling puffball fool you! If you've met Cammy, you are familiar with her "Cammy-tude" - a testament to her Poodle heritage (she is a miniature Australian labradoodle). While not always a model of acceptable workplace behaviors, we overlook her blank stares, huffing, and insubordination since she is so darn cute. Cammy frequently visits Wells Law clients and greets visitors when she's not sleeping under a desk. She earned her Canine Good Citizen certification and is a registered therapy dog with Pet Partners. Cammy loves visiting workplaces, colleges, and hospitals to provide stress relief and smiles. In her free time, she enjoys peanut butter filled Kongs, listening to country music (especially Nashville Crush), playing at the park, and spending time with her buddy, Chopper.
Chopper M. Darling, Chief of Security
Chopper ("Chop D") Darling is the Chief of Security for Wells Law. Chop greets most with a huge smile but never forgets his duty to protect and defend. A rescue pup with yourguessisasgoodasmine heritage, Chop D's bark sounds much bigger than his 15-pounds. Chop has a tendency to mutter and grumble under his breath (if only he could talk!) when he disagrees with a management decision, but he forgives quickly as soon as his belly is rubbed. Occasionally, Chop D visits clients; however, he is really a homebody and takes great pride in monitoring the office when everyone is gone. In his free time, Chop D enjoys riding with his head out the window to feel the wind blowing through his fur, wrestling, and eating anything he can steal from Cammy.
