For the past year, a small candy shop in Colombia has been receiving regular visits from someone who’s become their most loyal customer — this sweet dog named Laika.
“She comes here almost daily,” the owner of Dulceria Las Caleñitas Cajica told The Dodo. “We feed her.”
But bighearted Laika apparently couldn’t keep the candy shop’s kindness all to herself.
A couple of months back, Laika appeared at the door as usual — but this time she wasn’t alone.
In her company was a ginger-haired dog who was eager for a snack as well.
The candy shop created this video to show how their visits progressed:
“They’re the cutest,” the shop owner said. “I love seeing them together.”
Though both dogs have homes, they seem to prefer the warm sunlight outside of the shop. And there, they get more than just full bellies.
The candy shop’s owner has personally taken Laika to the vet to be spayed, ensuring that no unplanned puppies wind up on the streets. She also showers them with affection — as she does with all furry visitors who drop by.
“We feed all the dogs that come to our business looking for food, regardless of whether they have a home or not, because we don’t know,” the owner said. “This is truly work we do from the heart.”
