Pets on the Payroll

“May I help you?”
This is Louie, and behind him Chief, the most helpful of all Golden Retrievers, who man (er, dog) the register at their place of business.
“It’s always a ‘Golden Day’ when you come to Thies Farm and Greenhouses in St Charles, Missouri,” writes in Fran Thies. “You will be greeted by Louie and his little brother Chief at the checkout. They especially love the kids and get customers that come in just to see them. If one of them takes the day off, we will hear the moans from customers. Now if we could just teach them to run the cash registers!” GP
