It&#8217;s one of the things we most look forward to when we&#8217;re about to get one: being bossed around by an adorable, fluffy creature is so fun. Sometimes, you&#8217;re so busy, and they just decide they want to cuddle.

In general, big dogs are a lot of fun, especially when they&#8217;re fluffy. It&#8217;s impossible to tell them no!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For example, when one Great Pyrenees sauntered into his favorite local CVS to ask for treats, everyone was in love. It&#8217;s almost like seeing a celebrity, or with the way he was walking, more like he&#8217;s the manager, walking in for an impromptu inspection:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ritchiethepyr\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ritchie the Great Pyrenees;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Ritchie the Great Pyrenees<\/a> is so goofy. If he came into CVS while I was there, I think it would make my entire month. I just love the way he walks in like everybody already knows why he&#8217;s there, because they do! Ritchie visits that CVS for his favorite employees, who give him treats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ritchie recently unlocked his own account with CVS&#8217;s ExtraCare rewards program&#8230; kind of. In a comment on a previous TikTok, CVS said he could have a little something special: a bag of treats! They&#8217;ll keep them behind the counter, and whenever he comes in, they have to give him one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/great-pyrenees-gives-mom-side-eye-wants-beef-stick\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Great Pyrenees Gives Mom Epic Side-Eye After She Refuses Another Beef Stick;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Related: Great Pyrenees Gives Mom Epic Side-Eye After She Refuses Another Beef Stick<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ritchie might make the CVS employee in this video feel special, but it&#8217;s a little bit of an act. He has snack spots all over the city, and they&#8217;re basically all on his walking route. This boy makes sure he comes home from every walk well-fed!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Listen, it makes sense. Ritchie is a big boy! Some Great Pyrenees fearlessly guard livestock. They live outside. Others get to be hand-fed jerky while flying first class:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I can&#8217;t even handle this. I like that he was being a good boy about it, though: he didn&#8217;t want to take it until his mom said it was okay! He knows about stranger danger!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Taking Dogs Into Stores Respectfully<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There are a lot of pet-friendly stores out there. There are also a lot that are technically not pet-friendly, but it really depends on who&#8217;s working that day. While you should not be taking animals into stores that aren&#8217;t pet-friendly, if you&#8217;re going to, you need to be respectful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When you&#8217;re taking a dog into a store:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-decimal\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Make sure they&#8217;re leashed up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-decimal\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Make sure they&#8217;re fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-decimal\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Don&#8217;t let them charge at strangers or other dogs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-decimal\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Be prepared to leave if they start act up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Luckily, Ritchie is the most respectful boy ever. He would never do anything to make someone not want to give him treats!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/dog-face\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc36;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc36<\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/newsletters\/parade-pets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SIGN UP to get &quot;pawsitivity&quot; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">SIGN UP to get &#8220;pawsitivity&#8221; delivered right to your inbox with inspiring &amp; entertaining stories about our furry &amp; feathered friends<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emojipedia.org\/paw-prints\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/great-pyrenees-walks-into-cvs-like-manager\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Parade Pets;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Parade Pets<\/a> on Nov 12, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Pet News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Pet News<\/a> section.
