You don't need multiple people to have an office.
The dog is called Harry, because I got him from a rescue centre were
they named him Harry, I think after Harry Potter, so I just kept the
same name for him.

Glad to hear that you got your pup from a rescue center/pound.
I refuse to ever buy an animal from a breeder when there are so many
that are abandoned and have only to wait for death. I've also been
fortunate with the animals that I've taken in. They've all been
super-loving and loyal pets.

In the US there are rescue centers but more often a dog winds up in the dog pound. Most pounds have to put down dogs they've had the longest as new dogs come in. Usually they try to work with the rescue centers but if they are full, the pound puts the animal down.
We always get out dogs from the pound "short list" of animals due to be put down in a day or two. Never got a bad dog. They always seem to know how close they came and remain appreciative dogs for the rest of their lives.
The difference between a bad dog and a good dog is that a good dog only bites who you want him to bite.

We don't really have pounds as such in the UK most animal related things are dealt with by charities like The Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) who have powers to remove mistreated animals and prosecute people.
Dogs in the UK are usually kept as pets and not work dogs so most are very tame and won't bit, which is quite lucky really. If your dog does ever bit anyone then you often get taken to court and the dog destroyed.
We don't usually have dogs as guard dogs like you do in the US, as laws in the UK mean that if someone trespasses or breaks into your property, if you attack or heart them you are the one that gets prosecuted. So if you have a guard dog that attacks a robber and killed or maimed them, you could get taken to court for it and the dog destroyed.
Dogs like American Bull Terriers (Pitbulls) are illegal in the UK, as they got bad press from biting people. Staffordshire Bull Terriors, like mine, look like Pitbulls but they are much smaller, and are usually very good with people, but not with other dogs, although mine seems to get on well with other dogs.
