A Cuban family, who had reported the theft of their two chihuahua dogs, reunited with their pets this Sunday. The dogs were found after someone purchased them and decided to return them to their rightful owners. “We found them,” announced Mayrelis Garcés González in the Facebook group “SOS Callejeros Cuba,” sharing images and videos showcasing the joy of a young girl as she reunited with her beloved pets.
Tamis Matos also reported on Facebook that the dogs were back home, thanks to the person who bought them and chose to return them. Furthermore, she requested that the post be shared widely, as one of the images depicted the individual selling the dogs in Curita Park. It is suspected that this person is either the thief or an accomplice.
The theft of these chihuahuas, which caused significant distress to their owners, prompted people on social media to organize efforts to locate them. On the same day, in the Facebook group “ADOPCIONES DE MASCOTAS EN CUBA,” user Eliani Isabel Ávila reported that the stolen dogs were being put up for sale.
“In the photo, the chihuahuas being sold by this unscrupulous person in Curita Park belong to my neighbors in Boyeros. He is the one who stole them from the yard,” Ávila stated. In her post, she requested any information about the dogs, noting that one of them is very old. “Their family is desperate,” she emphasized.
Last April, a desperate Cuban man offered a reward of 50,000 pesos for the return of his lost dog or any information about its whereabouts. Yoel Abraham González, who resides in Havana, posted on Facebook that he would give “a reward of 50,000 pesos to anyone who calls me or tells me where it is, I will give it to them in hand.”
In another case last May, a Cuban woman offered a reward of 50 dollars and a pair of sneakers to anyone who returned her stolen dog in Havana. “I will give 50 USD plus a pair of sneakers sent from Miami to anyone who returns this dog,” wrote a person named Star Blue from Guanabo, located in the Habana del Este municipality.
