Her sweet and sensitive demeanor makes her an ideal shop dog and she loves to who is adept at helping people find the perfect gift for their loved ones. A hardworking girl, she enjoys working in the shop selling customers stickers with her and her sister working in the shop, cards, gifts, and more. And if you giver her a tip and ask very nicely she’ll even let you pet her super silky-soft ears.

While she’s also known to do some napping on the job.

Her boss doesn’t seem to mind though, and neither do customers, after all, she is still just a little puppy.

And puppies need their sleep.
