The History Behind The Zenmar Dog
Many people have asked over the years, "What's With the Dog"?
In 1990, Ralph Wismer, President of Zenmar brought "Puppy" to Zenmar. Puppy was an eight week old yellow Labrador Retriever. In today's world, too often in business, everything is black and white. Ralph decided that he would use Puppy as part of the Zenmar logo. And so it began. The Labrador has been a part of our logo since 1990. Puppy has always been displayed with the signature hard hat. As we purchased newer Zenmar vehicles his likeness graced the vans. He quickly became recognized as the Zenmar mascot. (Reilly Left, Puppy Right 1998)
In 1998, Reilly joined the Zenmar team. Nine year old Reilly is our present mascot. Today, you will find the dog on anything that has Zenmar on it. Each year the Zenmar Holiday card is a picture of the dog. In fact, some customers keep the collection of these cards over the years at their place of business.
Anyone wishing to meet Reilly can find him most days at Zenmar's office. He enjoys company and is always ready to greet visitors to our facility. So next time you're in the area, stop by and say hello to "The Zenmar Dog". (Reilly December 2006) |
