“Chila loves you, sleepy little bear” 💖
Most of Chila Pets’ customers visit the pet supplies store during the day to shop for their furry loved ones. But one frequent customer, Osito, doesn’t follow the same rules — he stops by whenever he pleases, even after hours.
That’s why, when the owner of Chila Pets was closing the store the other day, he wasn’t surprised to discover a brown ball of fluff curled up on one of the dozens of beds for sale.
“Yesterday, when closing the store, we found this,” Chila Pets wrote in a TikTok. “Somebody stayed to sleep inside.”
You can watch that moment here:
Osito, or “Bear” in Spanish, isn’t like the other Chila Pets customers. He’s what locals call a “community dog,” meaning that he doesn’t have one particular owner. Instead, he has a group of neighbors caring for him, including those at Chila Pets.
“We call Osito a stray because he likes to wander around during the day, but at night, he sleeps at a neighbor’s place …” Chila Pets commented on TikTok.
Despite not having a permanent home, Osito is living his absolute best life thanks to the residents in Junín, Argentina, who look after him. With a whole neighborhood of caregivers, Osito never has to worry about finding food or a cozy place to sleep.
So, he spends his days making friends. And he always starts at his favorite place, Chila Pets.
Osito has been visiting Chila Pets for years, randomly showing up at their door when he’s ready for a snack or a nap. The owners love Osito and happily oblige when the sweet boy appears.
You can see him waiting at Chila Pets’ door here:
Osito is guaranteed a treat or two every time he walks in. Sometimes, he lands an invitation to the shopkeeper’s apartment above the store, where he happily curls up on one of their comfortable dog beds.
Watch Osito visit the shopkeeper’s apartment here:
The shopkeepers are always willing to open their doors for Osito, but sometimes, he lets himself in. And whether he decides to snuggle on the dog bed of his choosing or sniff around for one final treat before bed, the Chila Pets owners couldn’t be happier to have him inside.
