Riina the dog sent The Baltic Guide news from Saaremaa, where she was on holiday with her human Anu Saarto and her two sons Mirko and Elmar.

On weekdays, Riina the dog mainly sells first-aid bags to companies together with her human. The first-aid kits Riina sells contain a variety of sterilised dressing materials, plasters, towels and vinyl gloves. There are also instructions on what to do in case of an emergency, such as eye injury, burns, broken bones or unconsciousness.

But hard-working Riina deserves her holiday, too. This time the family headed to Saaremaa to spend it. Postimees newspaper Saarte Hääl also published a story about Riina and Anu, which you can read in Estonian here. The article also includes a funny video of the pair showing how to ski in the centre of Kuressaare.

For Riina, however, the highlights of her holiday were spending time outdoors in the snowy landscapes of Kuressaare and lounging in the cosy guesthouse Laurits.
