Arte Fact is a Golden Retriever webkinz.
He is the owner of the Curio Shop and is the only employee there. He also owns mines which you look for gems. You can collect them and get a Webkinz Crown of Wonder. You can tip Arte.
If you want to be his friend in Webkinz Phone write artiefact.
At first in the Curio Shop, when you don't really now him he treats you indifferently. The ways to increase your relationship are to give tips, visit a lot and buy a lot of items. But when you get to know him better he greets you nicely. The advantages are he tells you sometimes when a Rare Item is coming. Check out the page Curio Shop Greetings to see what he greets you.
In the W-Tales The Last Adventure book, he was friends with Doug but later in the story he wasn't friends with him anymore. He fucking pauses the buttons when he speaks. And kills webkinz with a fucking gun.
