What Happened When Landmark Manchester Introduced Dog Therapy Sessions
24 February 2026
Bringing Smiles to the Workplace
At City Tower Manchester, property management company MAPP hosted a unique corporate dog therapy event designed to support workplace wellbeing and bring tenants together. Organised by Kerri-Louise Payne, Occupier Events & Content Manager, the event invited employees from across multiple businesses within City Tower to step away from their desks and enjoy quality time with therapy dogs.
The session featured four much-loved therapy dogs – Opie, Karrot, Tilly and Bella – who each spent time with small groups of staff members. Each participant had the opportunity to enjoy a 10-minute wellbeing session, designed to help reduce stress, encourage relaxation, and boost mood.
Incredible Feedback from Employees
The event proved to be an overwhelming success, with employees sharing glowing feedback:
- “I feel like my face will stay this happy forever”
- “This is the best day of my life”
- “I can’t tell you how much I needed this”
- “I haven’t smiled like this for a long time”
This highlights the real impact dog therapy sessions can have on mental health, stress relief, and overall employee wellbeing.

“At City Tower, we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to bring our community together and support workplace wellbeing. The dog therapy event was a huge success – it created smiles, laughter, and gave people a real moment of calm during their busy working day. We’ve had so many requests to bring the dogs back, and it’s wonderful to see how much joy they brought to everyone who attended.”
