Meet the Valley's cutest employees! The terrific trio of Molly, Willy, and Bruce take first place, welcoming shoppers with wagging tails at Ope! It's Soap (116 N. Bridge St., Chippewa Falls). Kaya claims second place, sharing puppy love with customers at Raggedy Man’s downtown gift shop (215 N. Barstow St., Eau Claire). Whiskey trots into third at CapVest (1411 Winchester Way, Suite 8, Altoona) where this four-legged friend proves every office needs a Chief Happiness Officer. —Jen Ekblad
