Golden Retriever Takes Role as Stylist’s Assistant and Clearly Understands the Assignment

As animal lovers know, having a dog around can make anything we do more fun. Whether reading a book on the couch, hiking, or visiting a brewery, just having them by our side improves the experience. They can even turn something like getting our hair done into an adventure.

While I enjoy holding my stylist’s French Bulldog like a baby when getting my highlights, this Golden Retriever takes salon services to a new level. His unique skill set might have new clients willing to pay more.

Watch how he helps make sure the customers are thoroughly rinsed in this video from September 9:

I would gladly travel to Italy for this treatment, as this hair service also includes a free facial! Even better, this bonus exfoliation is natural and organic. Tokyo didn’t hold back the love during this trip to the shampoo chair, happily kissing both the client’s (likely his mom's) and the stylist’s (@thevibe_hair) faces. This adorable Golden Retriever has water-loving genetics, so he also took a few sips from the hose. LOL! After getting his drink, he returned to his mission of kissing, ensuring that he thoroughly covered his client’s face and neck with them. He must know this profession works on tips and is doing all he can to maximize his earnings. It’s safe to assume his exceptional attention to detail earned him a handsome bonus or a few extra treats.

Why Do Dogs Enjoy Licking?

Licking is a common way for dogs to show affection and bond with their people. It’s a behavior learned from their mothers, who lick them for grooming and nurturing when they are young. While some dogs lick their humans to seek comfort or attention, others may enjoy the natural taste of saltiness or lotions on the skin.

People wanted to know how to reserve a time with this gorgeous Golden. One person inquired, “How do I book an appointment? I would like the puppy shampoo special.” It appears this provider might have a long waitlist for this treatment. Viewer @taliawolfefeichter remarked, “Omg, where is this? I need it asap!” The salon is just north of Milan, and it seems like another great reason to visit Italy. Viewer @katharineschnebelen responded, “My dog would be trying to get in the sink or grab the hose! It is nearly impossible to water my plants! Cute video!” Ha! That’s true; some dogs are more interested in the hose than anything else.

If you’ve been thinking about a trip to this part of Italy, this is your sign to book your tickets. Besides the rich history, beautiful art, and outstanding food, this good boy’s services are a great excuse to go!
