The (Adorable) Dogs of TuneIn Share Their New Year’s Resolutions

Welcome to 2018! We know that returning to work after the holidays will be “ruff” — we’ve all gained a few pounds, spent a few too many dollars, and drank a few too many glasses of champagne on New Year’s (just us?). So, we wanted to ring in the new year with our favorite members of the TuneIn team: our pups! May the many good boys featured here help you make 2018 your best year yet.
