Piper Guiducci
Director of Snuggles & Support| Veterinary Advocate & Treat Enthusiast
Piper Guiducci is an 8-year-old golden retriever who brings warmth, joy, and the occasional nudge for attention to the Guiducci & Guiducci team. As Director of Snuggles & Support, she’s a loyal companion - often joining in on fishing adventures, mountain hilkes, and quiet office days filled with belly rubs.
While she lets the humans handle the legal word, Piper’s presence is a reminder to slow down, take breaks, and enjoy the simple things, like good company, a well-earned snack, and long naps.
