If you’ve ever been happily lost in a Sephora aisle, you’ll get why this Doberman from @raphiethedobe is taking her time. She is in the middle of a major shopping trip at a pet store in Melbourne. And it is honestly the most relatable thing ever. Raphael is a professional silly billy who takes her snacks very seriously.
This video of the Doberman has over 210k views already because everyone understands the need for a good browse. She is just wandering through the pet store at her own pace, and her owner is actually letting her do it. It’s Retail therapy at its finest.
Owner equates Doberman’s pet store time to a Sephora visit
The clip starts with Raphael right in the middle of the treat aisle. She starts by sniffing a specific bag on a high shelf. But then she moves to the next one. And the next one. You can see it is a very thorough process. The text in the video says her owner is letting her take her time because this is basically her version of a makeup store. One person commented that it is exactly how they look at Sephora.
Of course, you have to be thorough with your investigation of the products on offer. And Raphael is not rushing for anyone. She moves down to the bottom shelf to check those baskets, too. Doberman owners know these dogs are famously smart. And they have a very strong drive to work. So this “sniffari” is basically her job for the day.
Every single treat gets a proper sniff. Interestingly, she is actually being so polite while she shops. She isn’t knocking things over or trying to eat everything in sight. A viewer even said their dog would have eaten most of the shop by now, but Raphael is just being a sweet princess baby.
This kind of mental stimulation is actually great for a high-energy Doberman. It keeps their brains busy. This Doberman video also reminded one commenter of being a kid and smelling all the coffee dispensers. For Raphael, the pet store becomes a playground of smells. It’s just funny to see her being so meticulous about her choices. She is clearly enjoying the experience. And her owner is just along for the ride.
