Dog works at Florida gas station. Seriously.

I love animals. I have pets, I enjoy scratching dogs under the chin and saying things like, “Who’s a big man” to them. But one place I don’t want to see a dog? Working at the convenience store in a Florida gas station, like this furry gentleman.

An unsuspecting customer pulls up to the drive-through window. But instead of a store clerk, up pops two paws, deep brown eyes and the tongue-flapping grin of a happy chocolate Labrador retriever named Cody.

Kids in the back seats of minivans often squeal with joy.

Even the usually stony faces of gruff construction worker-types can’t help but crack a smile under the dog’s unpretentious greeting.

“He hears the bell and goes running. When he pops up, that sets it off,” said Karim Mansour, the store’s and dog’s owner. “Uncontrollable giggling.”

“Oh, he’s adorable,” said customer Candy Thompson when greeted at the window by Cody. “Oh, he’s such a big lover.”

That is fairly adorable. But is this dog taking jobs away from hardworking Americans? We can’t allow that. What next, a dog coming up with pithy comments on a Web site? All I’m saying is if you suddenly see a poodle up there where my headshot was and all of the punchlines are along the lines of, “Grrrrrrrrrrr bacon bacon bacon,” the dogs have gone too far. It’d probably be equally as entertaining, but still.
