Thirsty Dog Is Carrying A Bucket And Begging For Water After Drought Hit Peru

ADVERTISEMENT

This video of a thirsty doggie running around Lima, capital of Peru, begging for some water with a bucket in his mouth has gone viral, stirring emotions all around the world. The unnamed canine, who was filmed in the district of Chorrillos, is one of the victims affected by Lima’s latest water shortage, which has already left 75 people dead and led to more than 1 million Peruvians being forced to abandon their homes.

A water company called Sedapal suspended their supply of drinking water in the capital of Peru, after the water was confirmed to be contaminated with mud as a result of severe floods in the area. The company is said to be doing everything it can to solve the problem. Meanwhile, huge containers of water have been put in different parts of the city for people to share.

Still, this poor doggie obviously took it into his own hands – or rather, jaws – to make sure his water needs are met. What a smart dog with some serious skills and strategy!

    The fact that they keep filming and laughing annoys me... But yeah, everything for a couple of clicks and likes... :/ How about you run to a store or wherever and get this dog some water instead of filming?

    They are laughing b/c they think it is cute, but basically asking eachother what he is doing, the man says he doesn't know, they are talking about his bucket, and they ask him a few times "where is your home," obviously the dog can't reply. Then it sounds like at the end, she's asking someone if the dog is hers.

    For those of you not watching the video: He has water in his bucket. The people in spanish are speculating what he's doing, they ask him where his home is, and towards the end the woman is asking another woman, if he is hers (or so it sounds). My suspicion based on the video, is this dog wanders around, and brings his bucket with him because he's smart and knows he's unlikely to find water organically, so having a bucket handy with water in it, is smart. That doesn't take away from the animals (and people) who really DO NOT have water. This pup does.
