Animals are enjoying Labour Day, too, like this Newfoundland dog welcoming tourists to Corner Brook

Humans aren't the only ones enjoying the Labour Day holiday, as a Newfoundland dog who worksin Corner Brook is also getting to kick her paws up on Monday.

Maggie, a Newfoundland dog who is about to turn seven, greets visitors from around the world at the Newfoundland Emporium on Broadway.

While she can't help Leanne Maxwell with things like inventory or sales, the owner said Maggie excels at what she does.

"She comes in, she greets people. She, you know, licks babies and eats treats and sleeps a lot. And everybody loves her," she told CBC News.

"When people come in and catch me talking to myself, she always pretends I was talking to her."

The store sells just about anything you can think of when it comes to Newfoundland, including handcrafted goods, antiques, vintage Newfoundland books, CDs and vinyl records.

It's a popular stop for tourists during the summer season, Maxwell said, but many also make the trek from the Corner Brook port just to see Maggie.

Humans aren't the only ones who have jobs. Many animals do all kinds of work, and one dog, in particular, greets customers and brings smiles to their faces. Maggie the Newfoundland Dog works at the Newfoundland Emporium in Corner Brook.The CBC's Amy Feehan stopped by the store to learn more about what Maggie does during a day on the job.

"When there's a cruise ship coming, even though there isn't a bus to go from, say, West Street to Broadway, people will walk all uphill and they said, 'Oh my God, I had to come over and see the dog,'" she said, citing recent tourist whose sole purpose for visiting the store was to deliver treats and a chew toy to Maggie.

Maxwell said Maggie often helps deliver part of the Newfoundland experience they're hoping for simply by being a Newfoundland dog.

Maggie isn't the first dog they've hadwho aimed to please tourists either.

"Our first dog was Moose. And the boss named him that because everybody wanted to see a Newfoundland dog and a moose," she said with a laugh.

"So I guess on a technicality, you did."
