It’s been hot here in recent days.

And not just here!

This story comes from Mexico, a country renowned for being a hot place. Even in Northern Mexico it can be flipping hot (and that’s putting it nicely). Let’s face it I met Jeannie in San Carlos, Mexico in 2007. San Carlos is in the county of Sonora, just along the coast from Guaymas and about 270 miles South from Nogales on the Arizona border.

Anyway, back to the story which comes from The Dodo.

Nice Store Opens Its Doors To Homeless Dog During Heat Wave

“He came to us for help.”
BY

PUBLISHED ON THE 27th August, 2019.

Recently, on a scorching hot day in northern Mexico, Adolfo Pazzi Ahumada witnessed love in its purest form.

After noticing he was out of milk at home, Ahumada decided to brave the 104°F weather to make a quick stop at his local market. When he arrived, he saw sweet scene unfolding out front.

“A stray dog was being fed and getting water from the [store] clerk,” Ahumada told The Dodo. “Then I saw they let the dog inside.”

Once Ahumada entered the store, he decided to ask the clerk about the dog. Ahumada recounted that conversation to The Dodo: “He has been here the past [few] days. We suspect he was left behind by his owner. He came to us for help,” the clerk told Ahumada. “We could only provide him with food, water and some toys from the store that we paid with our money.”

But the shop’s kindness doesn’t end there.

“We let him inside because the temperature outside is really hell-like. We feel bad for him, but he looks happier around the store,” the clerk said.

Peeking down one of the aisles, Ahumada observed that firsthand:

The downtrodden dog had found people who cared.

In the time he’s been there, the dog has shown kindness to the clerks and customers in return. The store hopes perhaps a shopper will see fit to adopt him into their home.

Unable to be that person, Ahumada paid for his milk and bought a treat for the dog to enjoy after his nap — resting assured the pup was in safe and caring hands until that day comes.

“I felt bad for what the dog has passed through,” Ahumada said. “But he is now receiving the love he deserves.”

 I find myself staggered at what this dog has endured yet at the same time how very quickly he settled in at the store. Well done to all the staff at the OXXO store. It would have been so easy to let the dog suffer and in all probability die in the heat.

Please, let the sweet dog find a loving home as soon as possible!

  4. Wonderful Story Paul, people in general are very kind, and I hope this dog finds its permanent home.. But in the mean time I bet he gets lots of treats and fuss by the shoppers going into the store, as well as the kindness from the staff and owners of the store itself..
    And yes the temps have heated up for sure in many places.. I wonder if we will see a big freeze too this winter?
    Enjoy your Sunday Paul 🙂 and regards and love to Jean..

    1. Thank you, Sue. Yes, we all hope that the dog does find a good home. Well it’s still early (4:50am) here in Oregon and tomorrow is a national holiday. But we will enjoy it! Is there an other half back in Blighty?

  5. Nice story. And yes, it’s been HOT HOT HOT here on this little Paradise island. HUMID heat. For months now. So unusual. It’s the kind that wilts almost anything, including US. So much for the climate deniers, one might assume. Though human stupidity continues to astound.

    Cheers, Paul. ❤

    1. Oh, don’t get me started! There’s a Devon saying from the old country that’s years old: All the world’s a little queer, except thee and me, and I have me doubts about thee!
