Zack Wilson Species: Human Occupation: Tech Support Zack is the only human being in an office full of animals. He does developer support for a pharmaceutical software company. Single, thirty-something, and hanging on to the last shreds of his optimism. He was raised by wolves.	Phil Mallard Species: Duck Occupation: Tech Support Phil is Zack’s coworker and best friend. Known for his vegetarianism, love of donuts, and lack of sports knowledge. A mild-mannered practical joker.	Gus Species: Pug Occupation: Housepet Zack’s pet pug, though he prefers the term “roommate.” Cranky and self-centered, and more than a little naive about the real world.
Chuck Wilson Species: Sheep Occupation: Founder of “Facebaa,” the first Social Networking site for sheep. Owner and CEO of “Burrito Hutch. Chuck is Zack’s adopted brother. Was a professional slacker until starting Facebaa, and is now independently wealthy.	Les T. Snake Species: Boa Constrictor Occupation: Regional Manager The quintessential boss. Lives by his motto, “There are no stupid questions. Just stupid employees.” Once fired an employee by swallowing him whole.	Tasha Garden Species: Armadillo Occupation: Office Manager The office manager where Zack works. She knows everything would go much more smoothly if everyone just did what she said. Often bewildered by engineers.
Bertie and Hugh Species: Racoons Occupation: Con Artists Bertie and Hugh are the neighborhood’s small-time scam artists. Bertie once confessed having feelings for Zack.

Bill and Mary are Zack and Chuck’s adoptive parents.
