You might not have thought that there would be all too much relation between a doggo climbing a mountain and the kind of work we have to put in to climb the corporate ladder at work. But that could not be any farther from the truth and in this cute collection of mountain scaling puppers are we going to dive into that unique relationship.

Now, while our pupper pals might be fit and have the benefit of four legs on the ground that does not mean that they experience distance and incline the same way we do. For them it is much harder, having to take smaller strides and smaller steps. So the challenge is, well mountainous. Which is much like the challenge we all face of starting at the bottom at a company and building our way up. Grinding to achieve each step of elevation, pushing through thickets and weeds, dodging trees and hiding from the sun. Sure, in the office that looks a lot more like grinding through work, dodging colleagues you despise and hiding from your boss. But the parallels are most certainly there.

And seeing as the connection is valid, we wanted to take a moment and help you get ahead at work with this inspawrational collection of hiking doggos. We hope that they fill you with aspiration, that they instill you with the sense that anything is possible and above all else that they leave you feeling capable and committed to your goals. And with that we leave you to enjoy these cute canines in all their glory, lording it over all of us that they are stood atop a mountain on a weekday while we work.

Talk about the pawfect LinkedIn profile pic. This strapping lad looks like he is not only ready to scale the highest mountain tops but also prepawed to reach new heights of conversion rates in the sales department. We would imagine his bio reading something along the lines of ‘Adventurer, Creator of Scalable Sales Funnels, Lover of barking’. We can only hope that he has enough years of experience to back up all the bravado.

This pair of canine colleagues are the pawfect reminder that while scaling that corporate tower you will also need someone to work alongside you. Someone to keep watch while you drink from the river so to speak. Sure, one day you will likely cross them for the promotion that you both wanted but only one could have. But until then you will have yourself a ride or d*e work bud who will accompany you on all your in office adventures.

Sometimes it can feel like you are wading through thick undergrowth when you are trying to get ahead in the corporate world. But just like this pupper you have got to do what you can to keep your head above the muck and press on. Sure, it might be tiring, it might be tough, but remember that much like scaling an actual hill, you are doing it for the view from the top. And if you want that view, well, you are going to have to fight tooth and nail for it.

The image that every CEO posts when they have decided that they have made it in life. Atop a mountain looking down on everyone around them. Ego soaring amongst the clouds and eagles. But you know what, there is little denying that they did indeed make it up the hill and persevered through all the trials and tribulations. Mainly the trials…
