George Harrison
Senior Pawtner
George is the newest addition to the i3 legal team. He has survived a storied past, having been rescued once in Stanstead, Quebec and a second time in the Golden Mile of Montreal. Though never admitted to McGill University, he enjoys walks in their green spaces. George interacts well with most creatures except squirrels, raccoons and German Shepherds for some reason.
George brings a soulful calm to what would otherwise be the dog-eat-dog world of business law. When called upon, George can sink his teeth into a file…like a dog on a bone.
​
George is available by appointment only though walk-ins have been known to find him at Percy Walters dog park.
