One Good Thing: PupCup Trip to Starbucks Turns Into Therapy Session for Baristas
In a world that can be inundated with heavy news stories, Cheddar News is bringing some light to your week with our 'One Good Thing' segment.
Today, the highlight comes from a Starbucks in Buffalo, New York. There, baristas had their shifts boosted after a couple brought in their pup, a five-month-old Pomeranian Husky named Knox, for a pup-cup. That's when the little guy was spotted by the Starbucks crew who instantly fell in love with him and began passing him around. It was the perfect opportunity for the pup, who is training to become a therapy dog, according to his human Michael Lindstorm.
