Hyundai Showroom in Brazil Adopts Street Dog and Makes Him Car Salesman

A street dog called Tuscon Prime, who used to roam outside a Hyundai showroom, has now been employed as a formal worker in this showroom.

PARIS: Tucson Prime was a street dog and has now become a car salesman. His story started when Emerson Mariano, a car dealer, adopted a homeless street dog and turned him into a car salesman.

It all took place in Serra, Brazil, at a Hyundai dealership where the animal was hanging around, looking naturally good-natured.

Emerson Mariano decided to take the dog under his wing after seeing him standing in front of his dealership. That decision turned out to be a wise move.

The dog quickly became the dealership’s mascot, named Tucson Prime, in a nod to a Hyundai vehicle model.

On Instagram, Hyundai Brazil wrote, “Meet @tucson_prime, the sales dog at the dealership @PrimeHyundai de Serra – ES. The new member is about a year old, was welcomed by the #Hyundai family and has already won over co-workers and customers with his sympathy,” 

Tuscon’s story has been going viral on social media, and people couldn’t stop themselves from showering their love on this munchkin.

Tucson Prime quickly became a national star, followed by nearly 200,000 people.

Becoming a real mascot for the brand, the adorable dog soon made friends with showroom workers, who placed him into their family and made him an honorary worker – complete with his own ID card.
