What a good boy! 

We love it when we heart a story of a stray animal getting a furrever home -- and job. 

Meet Tuscan Prime, the new "pawfessional consultant" of a Hyundai showroom in Brazil! The staff noticed him earlier this year, a stray that would constantly hang around the showroom. The staff didn't ignore the stray, instead, they gave him love and attention. And after one particularly rainy night, the manager, Emerson Mariano, decided to adopt the dog and named him Tuscan Prime. 

After his adoption, Mariano took him to the vet for all the necessary vaccinations. 

Initially, the showroom took him in just to give him refuge, but it turns out that he's one heck of a salesman! With Tuscan's charm and interaction with the customers, the dealership saw no choice but to give credit where it was due. Thus, earning Tuscan Prime a promotion and his very own ID badge! Tuscan had officially become the showroom's mascot! 

In an interview with Top Motors Brazil, Mariano mentions that "that many customers returned to the store even after having purchased a car just to say hi to the dog and give him gifts."

And according to Mariano, Tuscan is even expected to star in a national advertisement campaign for Hyundai! 

Way to go, Tuscan! You can now follow Tuscan Prime on Instagram!

Any cat owner knows that no matter what you order online, as long as the item comes in a box, the fun is guaranteed. 

Our curious furry friends can turn any cardboard box into total play. 

With that in mind, the new campaign by the Brazilian ad agency, AlmapBBDO, presents the Curiosity Boxes! 

In a partnership with Petlove, Brazil's number-one online pet supplies shop, customers get a free Curiosity Box with a purchase of 40 single pouches. Each box will turn into a rocket, airplane, or submarine. Tutors can follow on-box setup instructions and readily start the cat play.

"Cats are ever curious. They love exploring new places and an empty box is full of possibilities. This inspired the team to think of giving a plain cardboard box a new twist, turning it into a playful object. That's how an online WHISKAS® buy becomes an even more rewarding experience to cats", says Marcelo Nogueira, ECD at AlmapBBDO.

What a brilliant idea! 

Leon, a handsome stray cat in Brazil, was out in a storm and decided to seek shelter at the OAB building (which is equivalent to the American Bar Association). 

Little did Leon know his life was about to change forever... because he officially became employed! 

This isn't the first time we're seeing cats being officially employed, but this is the first feline lawyer we've heard about! 

Congrats Leon!

While the Amazon Rainforest is home to one of the largest biodiversities on the planet, that doesn't typically include whales. In Northern Brazil, a beached whale has appeared and scientists are scurrying to find out how exactly.

We all like to think that people will never forget where they came from. That after making it anywhere in life, they will always give back and be humble too. That they will remember what their struggles were...That exactly how Lana the dog acts.

A Brazilian stray dog had quite a tough life on the street that left him with no exercise and extra helpings of unhealthy food.

Once ridiculed for his 80 pounds as he made his way around with great difficulty due to bad joints and breathing problems, the committed canine has a new leash lease on life.
