A street dog adopted by the staff of a bank in Dalian, Liaoning province, has become known as a lucky dog and is so popular in the neighborhood that it has brought new depositors(储户) to the bank.

The street dog is yellow and white with a broken ear. She began wandering the neighborhood about six years ago. She often looked for food at a farmers market beside the bank, and to prevent people from hurting her, a warmhearted stall owner took her in. So she’d sleep at the stall at night and wander around the neighborhood during the day. Later, some workers in the bank began to feed her sausages(香肠) and dog food, and she seemed to become one of them.

In order to take better care of the dog, Liu Jian, a cleaner at the bank, took her to be vaccinated(接种疫苗), registered her for a dog license and gave her the name Meili (“beautiful”). “I just do the legwork,” Liu said. “The bank staff members pay for her expenses out of their own pockets, buying her food, and snacks, as well as taking her to the vet(兽医) regularly to be bathed and vaccinated.” Sometimes, people give Liu spare change on their way home from the market to buy food and supplies for Meili.

One nearby resident said she always visits the dog every time she passes the bank. “Meili is such a nice dog. I never saw her bark at anyone. Instead, she likes staying with us,” she said. “Because of the shared love of dogs, we’re interacting more with nearby residents, and over 30 of them have become new depositors thanks to Meili,” said Zhang Yi, manager of the bank.
