While some veterans use medication or lean on their family when they return from service, Luthy has Charlotte. So working with her is the best thing for him.
"Instead of medications, I have Charlotte," Luthy told the publication.
Whenever Luthy needs help calming down, he looks to Charlotte for support.
Since he began at the hardware store, the veteran has been getting a lot of positive feedback. Shoppers have even taken pictures of him and Charlotte and posted them on social media to show support.
The duo can typically hang in the paint department, since there is a space for Charlotte to sit.
She even has her own Lowe’s vest, which is just adorable.
Well done, Lowe’s. We salute you and your amazing new tag team, Clay and Charlotte!
