Tucson Prime spent his early life struggling to survive on the streets, until a chance encounter with a manager of a car dealership during a thunder storm turned out to change his life forever

A dogged attitude finally paid off for a stray dog who refused to stop turning up to a car dealership – after he was adopted and somehow landed his dream job.
The lonely pooch kept going to a Hyundai Prime branch in Brazil, and after staff fell in love with him they decided to adopt him and put him to work.
Given the catchy new name Tucson Prime the pooch was put in charge of meeting and greeting customers at the dealership, and immediately settled into his new life of luxury.
According to Bored Panda, one night when it was particularly rainy, manager Emerson Mariano invited the pooch inside and let him have some food and water.
But he kept coming back after that, so staff at the dealership finally decided to bite the bullet and adopt him back in the summer of 2020.
Tucson Prime’s ‘very caring and docile nature’ gave managers an idea and it wasn’t long before he was a fully-fledged employee.
Emerson Mariano told media outlet Top Motors Brazil at the time: “After all, the company has always been pet friendly, so now, we decided to embrace this idea in practice too, having our own pet precisely at a more complicated time like this with so many abandoned animals.”
And, years later, the adorable doggo is still hard at work!
Tucson went on to become something of an Instagram celebrity and now has 181,000 followers.
In his most recent post on August 3rd, the intrepid entrepreneur posted an adorable photo working hard at the dealership’s front desk.
The caption read: “Call centre, this is Tucson, how can I help?”
