Breed: Frenchbulldog

What's up dog?
So in my job I deal with so many clients everyday, and you form a close relationship with a lot of your clients, some having for over 15 years. Remus is a MASSIVE part of my business, as soon as he hears a knock he hoofs it through to the other end of my house to greet ""his friends"" my clients ALWAYS say hello to him before me, often picking him up for a cuddle, I have clients that have been petrified of dogs from bad experiences but now just adore him and say he has helped them to be not so scared. My IG has a good following and I'm 100% sure it's because of the reels and stories I post up. Clients say they have alerts when I post something cause if it's anything to do with Remus they know it's going to be funny. The other day I took Remus to the vets, the lady at the counter saw him and goes...hey is that Remus? I follow him on Instagram! I go, you mean you follow me and my side kick?
If he's very occasionally not at the door my clients go, where's Remus? Or if I've shut him out he literally screams to come in, if you've heard a frenchie scream you know exactly what I mean! I can tell him to sssh and he goes away and sulks but ALL my clients say I'm mean and let him in. He just puts a smile on everyone's faces. If they came in sad, angry for whatever reason they always leave with a smile on their face. He's the best therapy.
