At Amanti Vino in Montclair, New Jersey, every day is “Take Your Dog to Work Day,” given the place of honor that Rufus (pictured) has in the hearts of customers & employees. He’s the boutique wine & spirits shop’s beloved Yellow Lab ambassador.
So on Friday, June 20, 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., when dogs (and the people who love them) observe National Take Your Dog to Work Day, proprietor Sharon Sevrens thought it was a perfect fit to hold the shop’s first “Yappy Hour.”
“Rufus has always been an important part of my business. People might be intimidated by the look of the store, but when they walk in and are immediately greeted by him, it makes them feel welcome,” notes Ms. Sevrens. “We have lots of people who come in just to see him. Kids arrive and Rufus babysits while the parents do the shopping.”
Well-behaved, on-leash dogs are welcome to stop by the shop for a cookie… and their humans will enjoy “treats” as well.
Concludes Ms. Sevrens: “We want to celebrate all dogs who are going to work on Friday… as well as the ones who had to be left at home.”
