Stray dogs often roam without homes, searching for someone to care for them. Occasionally, these dogs find the perfect place. One particular stray not only found shelter but also a job!
A stray dog was adopted after visiting car dealership every day
In Espírito Santo, Brazil, a street dog frequently visited a Hyundai car dealership. This adorable pup won the hearts of customers and staff alike.
Emerson Mariano, the dealership’s manager, first spotted the stray several months ago.
He began leaving food and water for the dog, who is about a year old. Following a particularly rainy night in May, showroom manager Emerson Mariano brought the dog home.
Over time, the dog became a familiar face at Prime Hyundai.
Mariano ultimately decided to adopt the dog. He named him Tucson, inspired by Hyundai’s popular compact SUV.
