Doggie Deliveries Unleashed

"A minimart in Medellin, Columbia, is giving new meaning to the term 'doggie bag'. Its owners have enlisted their  year old chocolate Labrador to deliver groceries to customers who are practicing physical distancing at home.

Eros navigates the city several times a day carrying a basket in his mouth... &he receives treats when he reaches his destinations.
                                                                   a brown dog carrying a bag: Eros remembers the names for some of the patrons who give him treats and can make deliveries on his own to a few households in Medellin.
'He helps us to maintain social distancing. And people love it when we send the dog,' says Maria Natividad Botero, owner of  the El Porvenir minimart.

Through training, Eros learned the directions to homes of 5 or 6 customers who've previously given him treats. 'I send the merchandise with a receipt in the basket, & my customers pay me through a bank transfer,' Botero says."
