When A Dog Refuses To Leave Car Dealership, The Owner Is Forced To Take Action

Every day, a certain stray dog showed up at the front of a Brazilian Hyundai dealership. The business owner didn’t know anything about the lonely canine, or why he kept coming back to the same spot each day. However, after days turned into weeks, he knew he needed to take action. He began hatching a strange plot, never anticipating that the animal he was dealing with was no ordinary canine.

A new visitor

The stray first began appearing outside the dealership in the spring of 2020, standing stoically at the front entrance, likely in the hope of scoring some goodwill from the store's employees. For a time, the owner simply ignored the dog — after all, strays were nothing new to the people of Brazil.

So many strays

It's estimated that Brazil was home to around 30 million stray cats and dogs, with many of them dubbed "community" animals that lived in certain areas and survived off scraps and handouts. The owner assumed that, eventually, the dog would just move on in search of a new place to beg.

Persistent pooch

But even as the days passed, the dog continued to plant himself firmly outside the dealership doors, staring in at the employees with puppy dog eyes as if to say, "Just a bite and a belly rub will do." Then, on an especially rainy night, it became too much for the owner to bear — how could he possibly say no that face?

Giving in

And so, the owner decided to let the needy pooch spend a few nights in the dealership to help him get back on his feet. Getting the stray off the streets for even a day or two would certainly come as a welcome respite.
