Helping a Dog Settle While Its Owner Is at Work

Your coworker Joel works with you at the ferry terminal in Brackenreach, a coastal town in Newfoundland and Labrador. Two neighbours have told him that his dog, Pip, barks for hours while he is at work. Joel had no idea because Pip is quiet when he is home. He cannot leave the terminal during his shift and has a limited budget for pet care. He asks you how to address the problem.
