Cayt’s Tale: Meet Our Goofy Labrador Therapy Dog

Mental Health Awareness Week Visits Bring Smiles to Amazon Wakefield Staff
19 May 2026
Another event with our furry team on a warm and sunny Friday last week, this time for the staff at IKEA in Doncaster. We might have thrown a few puns in our write up – see how many you can spot!
Our pawsome foursome – Tilly, Opie, Star and Cayt – assembled for an afternoon doing what they do best: helping people relax, smile and connect.
Despite the simple and well-designed chairs on offer, most people sat on the floor where they were much more likely to get cuddles, and much less likely to want to leave!
Strokes, laughter and conversation were the tools of the day, and we put all the pieces together to create a top-drawer experience.
With small groups throughout the session, there was plenty of opportunity for one-on-one time and undivided attention from the dogs, making it extra special. Staff were able to unpack their stresses and strains, put them on the shelf, and leave feeling rebuilt and rejuvenated.
It was Star’s third birthday, so during the team break there were doggy cakes to share around—although Cayt didn’t quite follow instructions and may have pinched half of Tilly’s…
This was our third visit, and many staff remembered us from previous events. Some have been there for more than 20 years, making them truly part of the furniture. It’s clearly a great place to work, and we love supporting businesses that look after their employees.
A big thank you to IKEA for hosting us—we hope to be back again soon!
P.S. We reckon “Kallax” would make a great dog’s name—what do you think?
What People Said
“Best day ever”
“Can we do this every Friday?”
“I’m in my element”
These are just some of the comments from the day—and we hear similar things at all of our events. It really shows the impact our four-legged friends have on mental wellbeing.
We have plenty more events coming up—could we be visiting your workplace soon?
