Your Regina husky just walked herself to work, eh?

SHARE

Your dog just got a job and it’s adorable

Oh, *tânisi*! You won't believe what I heard coming out of the south end of Regina, near Parliament Place, eh? There's a five-year-old husky named Missy who decided she just couldn't miss her doggy daycare, Spot's Place. Her owners kept her home for a vet appointment, but Missy had other plans. She just... walked herself there. Like she had a little briefcase and a coffee cup, marching down the sidewalk on Albert Street to get to work. And get this: it wasn't even the first time she's done it!

This isn't just a funny story, though it is that, oh for sure. It’s a testament to how much our pets are part of the family here, and how smart they are. Missy clearly loves her time at Spot's Place, enough to make an executive decision about her schedule. It reminds you of how folks will go out of their way to get to their favourite coffee shop in the Cathedral Village or make the trek out to the Warehouse District for a specific brew. It’s that same kind of dedication, eh?

*Missy's Commute*

* Missy is a five-year-old husky who lives in Regina.

* She was supposed to stay home for a vet appointment.

* Instead, she walked herself to Spot's Place, her doggy daycare.

* Her owners say this isn't the first time she's made the journey solo.

For anyone who’s ever had a dog, especially one with a mind of its own like a husky, you get it. This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen. Our pets are just as much a part of the daily hustle as anyone else trying to navigate the morning traffic on Victoria Avenue. It’s a heartwarming little story that reminds us of the small, unexpected joys right here in our prairies.
