Recently, the animal protection services of San Antonio intervened before a Starbucks local after being alerted by an unknown good Samaritan to the presence of a small abandoned dog. Alone on the café terrace, the Poodle old man seemed to be waiting to be noticed, sitting on a high chair, a cup of water in the colors of the brand placed near him.
“It was really mysterious”
Dispatched to the scene, Lisa Norwoodhead of public relations for San Antonio Animal Care Services (ACS)affirmed to the media The Dodo : “ Someone must have placed it there “. But in the absence of the person who reported its presence, and given that it was 4 a.m. and the café was not yet open, it was impossible to determine how the dog had ended up there. The only thing the officers were able to see was the fact that a cup of water had been placed near him.
“ Who knows what happened between dark and 4 a.m. when we came across this scruffy-looking little white dog? », declared Lisa Norwood.
He was not identified

The dog, old and tired, was examined and was not injured, although he apparently had to survive several days alone on the street. He was then taken to the shelter of theACS in order to recover from his emotions.
