Chester
Yard Supervisor
Meet Chester, the yard’s most diligent supervisor. He’s the first to greet anyone who steps onto the yard, and you can always find him nearby; making sure they’re happy and well-fed (including him). His primary responsibilities include looking cute, fetching treats, and napping in the lorry. If there’s one thing Chester’s an expert in, it’s bringing smiles to faces after a long day!
