A family-run shop has gone viral with their unusual shopkeeper: a Labrador retriever who fetches money from customers.
Linda Finnegan, 52, runs the Finnegans Grave Awakening tour in Ireland, showcasing some of the more unique sides to Ireland than the average tourist will see.
And one stop includes a small corner shop in Julianstown, County Meath, with a unique staff member: Belle, the dog.
Finnegan explained the first time she went to the shop, she tripped over a bag of kindling and came face to face with the smiling dog, who then took her money—and quickly became a highlight of her local tours, which she calls “secret hideouts.”
In a video shared online account @finnegansgraveawakening, named after her tour business, Finnegan prepares to pay for her purchases by giving money to the senior pup.
Belle is waiting eagerly behind the counter, barking, tail wagging furiously with a smile on her face, and standing with her paws up against the table.
And as Finnegan hands her a €20 ($21) note, Bell takes it in her mouth and walks away.

Finnegan then calls her back, as she has a second note for her—and Belle returns, grabbing the second note and returning to her owner who is sitting behind the counter, keeping an eye on her four-legged shopkeeper.
“The Irish working dog,” she wrote in the caption.
LOL! What a cute and smart baby!
