A Cuban family, who had reported the theft of their two chihuahua puppies, recovered their pets this Sunday. The dogs were found after someone bought them and decided to return them to their owners.

"We found them," noted Mayrelis Garcés González in the Facebook group "SOS Callejeros Cuba," while sharing images and videos that displayed the girl's joy at being reunited with her pets.

He also requested that the publication be shared, as one of the images showed the person who was selling the dogs in Curita park. It is believed that this person is the thief or an accomplice.

The theft of these chihuahua puppies, which caused so much distress to their owners, prompted people on social media to organize to find them.

On the same Sunday, in the Facebook group "ADOPTION OF PETS IN CUBA," user Eliani Isabel Ávila reported that the stolen dogs were being put up for sale.

"In the photo, the chihuahuas that that unscrupulous person is selling in the Curita park belong to some neighbors of mine from Boyeros. He is the one who stole them from the yard," Ávila pointed out.

In her post, she requested any information about the dogs, indicating that one of them is very old. “Their family is desperate,” she emphasized.

Last April, a Cuban desperate to find his lost dog offered a reward of 50,000 pesos to anyone who returned it or provided information about its whereabouts.

The young 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 he is; I'll give it to them in hand."

Another Cuban in May 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 that were sent to me from Miami to whoever returns this dog," wrote a person named Star Blue on Facebook, who lives in Guanabo, in the municipality of Habana del Este.
