Accuride International makes drawer slides but only has three employees at its sales base in Georgia, in the southeast of America. Two of those are dogs - Meeka and Kya. The other is human, Michael Reeg, who started working from home early last year.
During a visit to the family home, his daughter Madison noticed that her dad had named eight-year-old Meeka as his "employee of the quarter".
Michael told the BBC that when he started working from home last year, he needed a companion to keep him motivated. "I remember looking at her laying in my office, which she did faithfully every day, and thinking about how happy she was when I was home and how excited she was when I said, 'Let's go to work.'"
"That was the end of the first quarter in 2016 and it struck me that she deserved to be rewarded for that quarter, based on her consistent attendance and her honest enjoyment of working," Reeg said.
