The position will consist of your best buddy testing out new products and filming content for social media. Sounds like ruff work!

"The successful pup will be a natural behind the camera, always happy to strike a pose and genuinely enjoy having their photo taken and being filmed as they try out our latest personalized products," the job ad says.

There are some terms and conditions.

The pet's owner has to be at least 18 years old and the dog must have at least two active social media accounts, including TikTok and Instagram.

The position is remote, but the pupper and its owner may be required to travel for photoshoots.
