The story of a sick and malnourished puppy surviving at the Fortress of La Cabaña in Havana has touched the hearts of hundreds of Cubans in recent days. However, just when everything was ready to rescue her and move her to a temporary home, she mysteriously vanished, and since then, no one knows where she is.
The little one, with a noble gaze and a body marked by neglect, was seen by visitors who fed her with whatever little they could. She limped, seemed to suffer from some illness, and barely had any strength, yet continued to show sweetness and affection to those who approached her.
The images shared by Bienestar Animal Cuba (BAC) sparked a wave of emotions on social media, with urgent calls to save her before it was too late.
The rescuers managed to arrange her transfer to a temporary home with a caregiver who was ready to welcome her. However, when they arrived to collect her, she was no longer there. They searched every corner of the fortress, even internal areas like the ceremonial battalion and the workers' dining hall, but their search proved futile.
“A lovely family from the area promised to notify us as soon as they saw her, but we were unable to find her,” BAC reported in an update on the case, calling for the collaboration of anyone who may have any leads on her whereabouts.
The mystery has stirred feelings of unease and sadness. Many fear that the little dog has met the same fate as so many stray animals in Cuba, disappearing without a trace. Others hold on to the hope that someone has taken her in and is keeping her safe.
“This case has touched the hearts of thousands of Cubans”, acknowledged the organization, which insists that they have secured veterinary care, food, and attention as soon as it appears.
Meanwhile, the fate of the little dog from La Cabaña remains a painful mystery that worries everyone who knew her story.
