The dog days are over for one shiba inu—he’s enjoying his golden years hanging out at home and maybe even improving his backgammon game.

Last year, a video of Shiba-San the shiba inu manning a small tobacco shop in a remote part of Western Tokyo—about 1.5km from Musashi-Koganei station—went viral, hitting the front page of Reddit and beyond.

According to the owner of the shop, tourists would make the trek from all over the world just to meet Shiba-San, who would, in turn, greet them with only the enthusiasm a canine employee could:

But the shopkeepers recently announced that they permanently shut their doors on October 30—and, yes, Shiba-San has retired as well.

We closed the Suzuki Tabacco store on 30 Oct. 2015. Shiba-san has retired as well. Sorry to… https://t.co/hKw5jpbeAR — アズミ (@doggy134) October 29, 2015

Congrats on your retirement, Shiba-San! May the rest of your days be filled with squeaky toys, water aerobics, and endless rounds of golf. Or whatever it is that retired dogs do.
