Great Pyrenees Celebrates 18 Months as CVS's Favorite Customer
If I could come back as anything or anyone, it'd for sure be a well-cared-for, loved dog who everyone's obsessed with. These cuties don't have a care in the world and have no issue seeking out anyone who gave them a treat that one time.
This describes Ritchie, a Great Pyrenees pup who first entered a local CVS store 18 months ago. After a store employee gave the good boy a yummy snack, he now insists his parents bring him back every chance possible. The best part is that he makes their day as much as they make his!

Ritchie sure is one gentle giant who walks into the CVS like he owns the place! Oh, to be on the staff, waiting each and every day for this stud muffin to roll through. As you can see in the clip, Ritchie doesn't much like pets until he gets treats first. That's a more than fair trade for the cutest pup in the world.
As Great Pyrenees dogs go, Ritchie has all the best traits. He's gentle, affectionate, loves attention, and will protect his people as a fierce and loyal watchdog. But also, if you mess with anyone at CVS, he'll need to have a word with you!

It's not only the store where this fella is the star. Ritchie wins people over everywhere. In one of the more unlikely places, the dreaded vet's office, he willingly walks inside and instinctively does what's expected of him.
A previous video shows what a well-behaved pup he is, stepping onto the scale without being nudged, and it's once again because he knows he'll get a reward afterward. He's so smart!

Great Pyrenees Dogs Are Smart Working Dogs
Like Ritchie, Great Pyrenees dogs are smart, patient, and calm, but don't let their sweetness fool you. Being bred as powerful working dogs whose job was to keep wolves and other predators away from sheep on snowy mountaintops means they can use their strength if necessary. But, for the most part, in this day and age, you'll more likely find one in a CVS begging for another treat (and Ritchie earned every last one)!
