The moment was captured by the security cameras of the pet store, where the young man has been working for more than a year. They say that when a person is happy in his job, he can work better and be more productive. In addition, this can have a positive impact on their mental health, since in this context they can feel less overwhelmed and more energetic.
This was demonstrated by a young man from a pet store in Paranavaí, Brazil, who went viral after being caught by security cameras dancing with a puppy just before bathing it. According to information from Globo, João Victor de Oliveira Andrade performed his dance steps while hugging Mel, a small Yorkshire puppy, a technique he used so that the animal would not be frightened during his routine bath.
This young man has been working for a little over a year in veterinary medicine and so far he feels that this job is part of his vocation and passion. “I really like it, it was like love at first sight. I identified myself…I want to be a veterinarian, to take care of animals,” she explained. For the owner of the veterinary and pet store, Priscila Ostaque Soares da Silva, the young man has always been an attentive employee and a good worker, but she didn’t know that he also had a special affection for the pets that his clients bring in day after day.
“That day I was outside and went to see what they were doing to ask them to do something for me. Then I caught him just in time, just as he was playing. I don’t mind the service being late,” the woman explained.
She added that at that moment she had played music to motivate her employees more, but João took advantage of that situation to approach the pets and star in a tender moment.

It is very important to emphasize that the attention given by the young man to the animals is very important, since pets are often frightened and stressed when it is bath time. With this gesture the dogs can lower their tensions and calm down, so that the bath is more bearable for them.
