In a store filled with trea-sures,
Butterbean stands out
as a rare find, indeed. She’s
scruffy and unassuming for
someone with a pedigree, and her
attitude invites customers to stay
and visit, to browse a little longer
and to find some time to play.
When customers come into
Maggie’s Antiques, the year-old
Shih Tzu pup jumps into service
not just as a greeter, but as an
ambassador of goodwill. “She
is playful and warm,” says Betty
Biaggi, owner of both Maggie’s
Antiques and Butterbean.
When you think of a Shih Tzu,
you might imagine a high-main-tenance,
fancy-pants pet with a
perfect coif and silky bows. But not
Butterbean. She’s a wiggly, fluffy
little sparkplug whose enthusiasm
is contagious. Her wavy coat is a
tad unruly and her ears swing into
her face. She makes a lot of motion
without exactly running around,
and she totes along her favorite
teddy: a stuffed dog identical to
her in size and color. “She even
drags it into her bed for naps,”
Biaggi says.
Biaggi says Butterbean has
changed everything for her and for
Maggie’s. “She completely changes
the atmosphere here in the shop,”
she says. “Butterbean brings peo-ple
up if they’re a little down, and
makes everyone smile when they
come in the door.” All in a good
day’s work.
