A Chicago landmark hotel has a cute and cuddly new employee, outfitted in a Burberry bandanna - an adorable one-eyed pug named Parker.

Walter Brindell, general manager of the Park Hyatt, adopted Parker from PAWS, an animal rescue organization, after the small dog was discovered in Tennessee with a severely damaged eye, reported TIME.

“She loves everybody,” Brindell told The Chicago Tribune, explaining that though the small dog is reserved and quiet, she likes to greet guests in the lobby and escort them to their rooms. She is also known to attend staff meetings, Brindell added, and members of the hotel staff take turns feeding and walking her.

“For the staff … it has just put a smile on their faces and it brings in an element to [the] hotel environment that was not there before,” Brindell said.

Parker’s residency at the Park Hyatt is among a recent surge of hotels hiring furry ambassadors. Boston’s Fairmont Hotel is home to Catie, a black lab guests can request to walk, reported the Chicago Tribune, while New York’s historic Algonquin hotel is home to social media darling feline, Matilda.

In addition to her position as resident door-greeter, Parker spends her days sleeping and basking in the sunshine of the hotel’s roof garden, a task Brindell says is perfect for the couch potato.
