Eros make runs several times each day, toting a straw basket filled with fruits, vegetables and packaged food - grabbing the basket handle with his mouth.
The AP reports El Porvenir mini-market owner Maria Natividad Botero says Eros makes deliveries on his own - having learned the names and locations of customers with the help of some tasty treats.
She also admits Eros was begrudgingly accepted into the family at first - at the pleading of her son - but they all quickly fell in love the then puppy.
