Everyone knows that as soon as you step into a home improvement store, you become an expert. Being surrounded by all the materials needed to create something great often makes most people feel like master craftsmen.
OK, not really! But Cashew, the Mini Dachshund, sure knows how to act like a professional as soon as he arrives. His paw parents recently took him on an adventure to “his favorite place” on a gloomy day, and the only thing better than the TikTok video they shared would be seeing this little pup in person.
Complete with his brown Carhartt doggie jacket, Cashew walked down the store aisle like a runway model in Paris. It was as if he knew he needed to stand a little taller for people to take him seriously—and he absolutely succeeded in his mission of believability.
At the start of the clip, it’s clear that the excitement is building as the little pup realizes where the car is headed. Then, after they are inside the store, it’s pretty obvious the little Dachshund has been there before and knows his way around.

His humans mention in the caption that it’s not only Cashew’s favorite store, but it’s also the “only way he gets exercise in miserable weather.” Honestly, this pup is just too precious. His proud little trot through the aisle with his dad is the stuff that dreams are made of!
Viewers React to the DIY Pup
As you can imagine, the number one question in the comments section is from other Doxie parents wanting to know where little Cashew’s humans picked up his Carhartt jacket from. Mom replied to multiple people, stating, “I got his at Bass Pro Shop, but I’m trying to find one online!”
Others suggested that Cashew was ready to join a construction crew, while several mentioned how calm and quiet he was in the store, saying things like, “Cashew is the most chill Doxie I’ve ever seen. Love him!” and “Why is he so quiet? LOL! Mine would bark the whole time!”
Many stores allow pets to roam with their humans freely, but it’s always best to check each store’s policy before heading in with your fur babies in tow.
