A STRAY dog who was determined to land his dream job at a Hyundai car dealership has seen his persistency pay off after he was given a job — and a home. Earlier this year, staff at a Hyundai Prime branch in Brazil spotted the dog waiting around outside the showroom and assumed he would eventually move on. But as time passed by the stray dog continued to show up and on one particularly rainy night the manager, Emerson Mariano, took pity on the pup and invited him into the warm room for some food and water. The lonely dog seemed determined to stay and it didn’t take him long to win the hearts of the staff, who adopted him as the dealership’s mascot. They named him Tucson Prime and hired him as a “pawfessional consultant,” giving him a staff ID badge and training him on the phones. Although the initial plan was simply to provide the dog a warm place to stay, Tucson’s natural ability to greet and interact with customers earned him a promotion to front of house. Showroom manager Emerson told Top Motors Brazil that feedback about Tucson’s customer care had been extremely positive and he had improved the dealership with his “very caring and docile nature.” (SD-Agencies) |
