In a heartwarming scene, a rescue dog in Brazil captured the hearts of shoppers at a local supermarket by raising her paw and waving at them. The video, filmed in Catanduva, Sao Paulo, shows the friendly dog named Agusta sitting patiently outside the store, happily greeting customers as they come and go. Agusta eagerly waits for people to approach, and then sweetly raises her paw in a friendly wave. Some shoppers couldn’t resist stopping to give her a gentle pat on the head.

Agusta’s owner, Jeferson Alexandre Rodrigues, shared that he adopted her in 2019 after learning about her through social media. The poor pup had been discovered by a rescue group in a bad state, bruised and unable to walk, trembling with fear. She spent a week in the hospital before finding a loving forever home with Rodrigues.

Agusta, the sociable pup, lifts her paw and greets passersby with a friendly wave in front of a grocery store in Catanduva, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The dog eagerly waits for customers to come in and out of the store before greeting them with a friendly wave. Fast forward two years, and now the lovable pet accompanies her owner at his motorcycle workshop, where she is affectionately known as ‘the workshop’s top employee’.

According to Mr. Rodrigues, the dog was initially timid around people when she first arrived at the workshop. However, with time, she gained confidence and transformed into the charming companion we see in the video. Since 2019, she has been an indispensable member of the workshop team.

The dog, named after the motorcycle brand Agusta, has a knack for offering her paw to everyone she meets, whether it’s customers leaving the supermarket or visitors at the workshop. Described as a ‘real character’ by her owner, Agusta has a special way of welcoming people and earning their affection.

Letícia Américo, a 24-year-old beautician who captured the heartwarming moments on camera, couldn’t help but gush over the adorable dog. She was completely smitten with Agusta and her charming personality.

After seeing the video, social media users couldn’t resist showering praise on the dog. Some were moved to tears by the display of cuteness, while others couldn’t help but marvel at the awesomeness of dogs.

Shoppers are left amazed as they witness a small dog warmly welcoming them outside the shop in Brazil.

People on social media have been praising a dog’s paw-lifting ability, with some even joking that the dog should be paid for its skill. One user went as far as to say, “We don’t deserve dogs.” Experts suggest that a dog lifting its paw can indicate anticipation, curiosity, or uncertainty in a situation. Dogs may lift their paws as a way to signal that they are expecting a treat or something positive to happen. This gesture could be accompanied by a tail wag and is also a way for dogs to seek attention from others. On the other hand, lifting a paw can also signify stress, fear, or insecurity in a dog, showing that they may feel threatened or unsure about a situation.
