SEOUL, Aug. 6 (Korea Bizwire) — Prime Hyundai, a Hyundai Motor Co. dealership in Brazil, recently hired an adorable full-time employee which has become a hot issue there.
The adorable full-time employee is an abandoned dog, which is now beloved by many of the shop’s customers. The abandoned dog was named Tucson Prime.
The dealership, located in the state of Espirito Santo in Brazil, recently announced that it had hired an abandoned dog as a full-time employee.
Employees created an official Instagram account for the abandoned dog and are sharing the everyday life of the dog with others. The account is now popular enough to have more than 20,000 followers.
One day, Tucson Prime visited the dealership’s parking lot to take shelter from the rain. Employees allowed the dog to rest there without kicking it out of the parking lot.
