For most pups, walks are about stretching their legs and exploring new scents. However, for Ritchie the Great Pyrenees, it’s more like a well-planned business trip, except his “clients” are store clerks and the currency is treats. Captured in a recent video, this gentle giant’s walking route comes with perks any dog would envy.
Great Pyrenees gets treats from various stores on his ‘new walking route’ in video
Ritchie the Great Pyrenees recently starred in a reel that showcases his “new walking route.” Unlike a typical stroll around the block, Ritchie’s route includes several strategic stops at local stores, each offering him a special treat. The first stop is Circle K, a convenience store where a friendly man greets him and hands him a snack bone. According to Ritchie’s pet parent, this man is his “old times dealer,” hinting at the longstanding bond between the pup and his treat provider.
Next up is Starbucks, where Ritchie gets a puppuccino. The video captures the playful spirit of the walk as the owner humorously refers to the barista as a “dealer who just finished training.” His owner then pans the camera to show a few more nearby spots, mentioning that all three “dealerships” are conveniently located within a two-block radius. Remarkably, Ritchie and his family had only been in California for less than two weeks. Despite that, he had already established his treat network.
The final stop on Ritchie’s route is CVS Pharmacy. Here, the dog confidently approaches the counter and places his paw forward, almost like he’s making a formal request. The cashier responds by handing him a chew stick, which Ritchie happily munches on before wrapping up his walk.
Fans of the Great Pyrenees shared plenty of affectionate and funny comments. One person crowned Ritchie “the beloved king visiting his loyal subjects.” Another witty viewer asked, “Are they training Ritchie or is Ritchie training them?” hinting at how clearly the pup calls the shots on these walks. A playful comment declared, “He’s just doing his rounds collecting the tax!!” Meanwhile, someone else suggested CVS should honor their furry regular with a grand gesture, saying, “CVS should make a big billboard with Ritchie as the star boy.”
