A dog in Kamloops, BC, is winning hearts after taking photos of a for sale ad posted by her humans.

Alesia Willard was taking a photo of a baby gate she was going to sell on a local Facebook auction group with more than 48,000 members, when Sadie, her Siberian husky, appeared in the frame.

“It was a mixture of being too lazy to take it back and thinking people could use a laugh, and so I just threw it up on the buy and sell, and the response was absolutely hilarious,” Willard told host Sarah Penton on Radio West . CBC’s

Since then, Sadie has become a fixture on buy and sell posts, which Willard says has helped drive sales, thanks to “constant comments” that bring her posts to the top of the page. and an interest in her dog’s big, expressive blue eyes.

“It’s…like she’s trying to stare into your soul and she just took the biggest shot of espresso of her life,” Willard said. “

Sadie’s popularity extends beyond the Facebook group, with a TikTok video featuring her and Willard’s pet Chihuahua at a grooming shop viewed more than one million times worldwide — and counting.

“Sometimes she almost thinks she’s like a human child, so she’ll like snuggle up with you on the couch like a little kid. Then there’s other days she’s just ripping around the house … being a dog,” she said.

“There are times I’ll sit at her and I’ll be like, ‘I don’t know if I’ve ever actually seen you blink,’ and then she’ll blink,” she added. “It just looks like she never does.”

Now, besides home supplies, Willard is also selling calendars featuring Sadie — by popular demand, she says.

“Let’s be honest — 90 per cent of them are just there for Sadie. They don’t really care what I’m selling.”
