A Cuban family that had reported the theft of their two chihuahua puppies recovered their pets this Sunday. The dogs were found after someone purchased them and decided to return them to their owners.
"We found them," pointed out Mayrelis Garcés González in the Facebook group "SOS Callejeros Cuba," as she shared images and videos showcasing the girl's joy at being reunited with her pets.
Tamis Matos also reported on Facebook that the puppies were back home, as the person who bought them ended up returning them.
He also requested that the post be shared, as one of the images showed the person who was selling the dogs in Curita Park. This individual is suspected to be the thief or an accomplice.
The theft of these chihuahua puppies, which caused great distress to their owners, prompted people on social media to come together to find them.
On the same Sunday, in the Facebook group "PET ADOPTIONS 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 their yard," Ávila pointed out.
In his post, he requested any information about the dogs, noting that one of them is very old. "Their family is desperate," he emphasized.
In April, a Cuban desperate to find his lost dog offered a reward of 50,000 pesos to anyone who returned the dog or provided information about its whereabouts.
The young Yoel Abraham González, who resides in Havana, posted on Facebook that he would offer "a reward of 50,000 pesos to anyone who calls me or tells me where he is; I will give it directly in hand."
Another Cuban in May offered a reward of 50 dollars and a pair of sneakers to anyone who would return her stolen dog in Havana.
"I'll 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 resides in Guanabo, in the municipality of East Havana.
