If you are a dog lover, this might just be the best thing you'll see today. If you're not, it's still going to brighten your Friday morning. An adorable dog has taken social media by storm after it emerged that he manages his own sweet potato stall in Japan. Ken-kun, a three-year-old Shibu Inu, does a wonderful job of running the small eatery on the island of Hokkaido, reports Metro News.
Ken-kun stands behind the counters and receives pets and payments from customers. A sign besides him reads: "Because I am a dog, I can't give you change." Customers simply choose the sweet potato they want and deposit the money in a box - and anything extra goes towards food for Ken-kun.
Pics of Ken-kun earning his living like a good dog have gone viral on Twitter.
