RIVER
Perhaps the best
accessory you can nd
at Amelia’s, a trendy
boutique in downtown
Madison, is curled up
in a comfy bed beside
the register.
River, a soft brown,
low-to-the-ground
Dachshund, is right at
home below the racks
of brightly colored
outts. Every day, for
almost 11 years, he has
been coming to work
with the store’s owner,
Kim Jensen.
“He even comes to
work when I’m out of
town,” laughs Jensen.
“ey bring him to
work and the girls
watch him and then
they take him home at
night to watch him.”
River has settled into a
comfortable work routine
over the years and
so have the customers
who expect to see him
when they stop by.
“We have people come
in asking for him. Even
if they don’t shop, they
come in to see him”
says Jensen. “He’s just
a really great dog and
everybody loves him.”
