A couple of weeks ago, MHC had the pleasure of attending the United Way Purse Power event in support of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and early childhood literacy. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the United Way of Gaston County raised an amazing $49,000 for this impactful initiative!

We’re so proud to be part of such a caring and committed community here in Gaston County. 📚

🐶 Meet Lady and Blue, the paw-some office duo who have been bringing positive vibes to MHC since 2024. They have mastered the art of mediation - especially when it comes to negotiating naps and snacks.

They can be mischievous and often found plotting their next food heist. Together, they are ultimate “bark-tenders” of the office, offering moral support during intense mediations and occasionally snoozing through them.

These two dogs are the fur-tunate companions of Dolph Sumner, a Partner at MHC who specializes in mediation and workers compensation.

When they are not mediating, and napping on the job, they are sniffing out the next delicious treat—particularly if they have been left unattended for even a second.

So if you are ever in the office and see them lounging around, do not be fooled by their sweet eyes. They are always watching… and always ready to swipe the next best treat. 🐾
