The newspaper Pulse — Northern Primorye told about Ajva, this story was picked up by regional media. Today the dog is a regional celebrity
"If you suddenly find yourself in the local market, the first thing you will meet is a black mutt with a white breast," local media say. — She appeared there as a puppy — about two and a half years ago. The trappers took her away (put a tag on her), the locals took her home, but she chose freedom. She is attached to the local saleswoman Nadezhda, who treats her with sweets. She settled at the store, got the name Ajva."
Since then Ajva has been welcoming everyone who comes shopping. But she especially loves children: she runs towards them, happily wagging her tail, gives them a paw and allows them to scratch her tummy. The locals are not indifferent to her — everyone cares and considers her his own.
The dog has become something of a mascot, waiting for little customers to play with them every day.
