Dogs aren't called man's best friend for nothing. Even when they're down on their luck, pooches still shower us humans with their undying love and devotion, something this stray dog proved beautifully.
This dog delivered groceries to self-isolating neighbors:

Meet Tucson Prime, as his new friends have called him, a stray dog who visited a car dealership so many times that he was given a job and his own badge.

Tuscon Prime took a shining to a Hyundai Prime dealership in Brazil and decided to show up day after day and it wasn't long before the staff fell in love with him.
Then, on one particularly stormy evening, the store manager, Emerson Mariano, gave him shelter, and the rest, as they say, is history.
He was given a name by staff at the dealership, and they even made him a little ID badge so that their customers know he's very much a member of the team.

In an interview with Top Motors Brazil, Mariano said that the pooch has helped to increase sales at the dealership.
The dog's "very caring and docile nature" has helped to improve the atmosphere on the showroom floor.

The manager said that Tuscon is such a hit with customers that even after they have purchased cars, they often return to bring the dog gifts.
"After all, the company has always been pet friendly, so now, we decided to embrace this idea in practice too, having our own pet precisely at a more complicated time like this with so many abandoned animals," Mariano explains.
The "salesdog" has now been promoted to the official mascot of the dealership and he's set to star in a national advertisement campaign for Hyundai.
Needless to say, Tuscon has been a hit on social media too.
One Twitter user wrote: "I'm not crying, I have something in my eye."

A second remarked: "I really wish that all works could have a dog or cat at the job. It would help morale and be soooo nice to help the animals."

Meanwhile, a third simply wrote: "Now thats [sic] a good boi!"

If this isn't proof that rescue animals make the best pets, I don't know what is.
