A family from Ciego de Ávila is desperate to find "Guajiro," their dog who has been missing since December 9, and they suspect he may have been stolen.
The owner, Yadira Rodríguez, shared her distress in the group Facebook “Revolico Ciego de Ávila,” where she posted an emotional message requesting help to find her pet.
In her post, Yadira described "Guajiro" as a noble and affectionate dog who has always been an essential part of her home.
With great sadness, he explained that since the day of his disappearance, they have not stopped searching for him and offered a reward to anyone who can provide information that would allow them to reunite with him.
"We will be discreet, we just want him back, we miss him a lot, just as he must miss his home," he wrote.
Additionally, he asked the community to share the search, as he suspects that the dog may not be in the town of Florencia, where it went missing, but in another location.
"The joy of seeing each other is something that fills my mind," expressed Rodríguez, appealing to the solidarity of his neighbors and everyone who can help.
If anyone has information about the whereabouts of "Guajiro," they can contact Yadira Rodríguez at the phone numbers 55240213 and 58628543.
The family holds hope that someone has seen him or can help find him.
The case of “Guajiro” reflects the deep bond between animals and their owners, as well as the pain that their loss can cause.
At the beginning of December, Rodríguez stated: “If anyone has seen him or sees him, please let me know. He left home in the morning and hasn't returned. We have searched for him and found nothing.”
Usually, social media is flooded with similar requests from people desperately searching for their pets.
For example, a lost puppy in the center of Santiago de Cuba has raised concerns among its owners, who are offering a reward of 100 dollars for information that can help find her.
The post, made by Giselle Lage Gil, who identifies as a singer on Facebook, details that the dog, named Simone, went missing near the Teatro Martí.
A young Cuban recently sought help through social media to locate her lost Pekingese dog in Old Havana, offering a reward of 500 dollars for its safe return.
No obstante, Melanie León clarified on Facebook that she will only give the reward “if it is clearly the real puppy.”
