Meet Ken-Kun, the Shiba Inu running his own roast potato stall in Japan. Roast potatoes are undeniably the best part of Sunday dinner, and this dog is making a living off the crispy, fluffy dish.

Three-year-old Ken-Kun meets and greets customers as they arrive at his roasted sweet potato stall with a wag of his tail on the island of Hokkaido, Japan.

He watches over the stall all day, and the shopkeeper is doing a great job at it, according to 9Gag.

A video of Ken-Kun hard at work at 'A Baked Potato Shop' shows that the dog is super friendly, popping up and down on his back legs as customers walk by.

Obviously the dog's lack of opposable thumbs means he can't take card payments and dish out the paw-fect sweet potatoes wrapped in tin foil himself, so it is up the customers to select which one they'd like and pay for it by putting money in a box.

The self-serve stall relies on the honesty of customers as he's reportedly too friendly to chase after sweet potato thieves.

A sign on the self-serve stall says, 'Because I am a dog, I can't give you a change'.

The sweet potatoes have a fair price of 100 yen/68 pence, but if people pay more or leave a tip, the extra money goes towards buying extra dog food for Ken-Kun.

Outside of work, the Shiba dog spends his time walking with his owner around their hometown of Sapporo City.

The adorable stall has been shared on social media, with one Twitter user writing: "At first, it looks like there is no one, and when someone approaches it, the face is put out like that."
