Say hello to “Smiley” Riley. New to the payroll at Melbourne, Florida-based Walden Jewelers, Riley is a 13-year-old rescued Black Labrador. For the last six months, he has supervised the repairs in the shop beside his dad Jeff, the in-house jeweler at Walden Jewelers. He also oversees the scheduling – the better the treats the more hours you work. The young at heart Riley has brought a homey and comforting vibe to storeowner Jason Walden (pictured), his staff and their clients. Mostly you will find Riley relaxing on his bed, roaming for the occasional dose of loving and of course checking in on the lunch choices for the day. Don’t let those devil horns fool you, he’s sooo lovable. What’s not to love in a sweet boy in a ten carat diamond collar?
