A couple rescued an injured dog in the city of Santiago de Cuba and are now searching for its owners on social media.
Journalist Anolvis Cuscó Tarradell shared on Facebook this Wednesday the story of a lost dog in Santiago de Cuba: "He was lightly struck by a car at the corner of Campito Dolores. Fortunately, the incident did not have any serious consequences for his life, and he walks without any problems, thank God."
He specified that the animal is in the care of Alina and her husband, residents of Carlos de la Torre Street #28, between 7 and 9, in the Ampliación de Terrazas neighborhood.
Alina Basterrechea Curnow, the person who protected the dog, commented on the post assuring that the dog is safe.
Most of the journalist's followers expressed their gratitude for the couple's kindness in rescuing the injured dog.
However, one of them took the opportunity of the publication to denounce the fate that some dogs allegedly face in the eastern city.
Erenia Vargas commented, "That's already turned into hash," referring to the tragic fate that some animals face in the country, where some people are resorting to eating dogs and cats due to the current economic crisis.
Recently, in Santiago de Cuba, a family offered a reward of between 15,000 and 30,000 pesos for anyone who returned or provided information about a lost Rottweiler.
The Facebook user identified as "La Leona Negr" reported that the animal went missing or was stolen when it was outside for about 10 to 15 minutes to relieve itself, as it does every day, and its owners were expecting it to come back inside.
Another pet owner, this time in Havana, offered a reward to locate his little dog, a beagle named Mustang.
The owner of the dog -identified on Facebook as Hildy Vldes- stated that her pet ran away towards 100th Street, in the municipality of Marianao.
