I haven't been participating in the guessing game, so I don't know which staff member's unclaimed dog went into the archives, but I do know that in previous years, sometimes there's a staff member or two who don't actively participate in the game and their outcome gets added to the archives without the staff member explicitly claiming it. I assume that that staff member probably let the archivist know in advance that it's okay to put up their outcome once it's grown.
Yeah, pretty annoying all the (6 at the moment I think) missing Staff Dogs in the Archive...

I can understand the Designers don't want to disclose their Name yet, OK, fair enough..., but that shouldn't prevent the Pets from being added to the Archive (without Name) like it's the case for one. (That one is Perfect...!

(And seeing a few Pets in the Archive without a Name even works "motivating" for "new Players" for that 'Guess Game', thinking "Oh-oh...!, I think I have some good idea who may have made that one, let's go and check the Guess Game...")
The main Function of the Archive during the first days/weeks that Pets are released is to be able to put Pets on our WL when trying to find Trades/Swaps for the missing ones...

It's a complete "Detective's Work" otherwise to find out which ones we are missing and if other Players have some for Trade..., and the 'Outcomes Thread' is often also only updated after 24h/48h.. (One is still missing at this moment, 22 hours after it grew...)
=> I also hope all those Staff Dogs get quickly added to the Archive...
