An unusual scene took place in the municipality of Mocajuba, in the Baixo Tocantins region, and went viral on social media this Wednesday (14).
An unusual case that occurred in Pará went viral on social media this Wednesday (14). Images from security cameras show the moment, when a stray dog takes advantage of the delivery man's distraction and steals a bag of lunchbox. The scene took place last Sunday (11), in the municipality of Mocajuba, located in the Baixo Tocantins region.
The images show the biker arriving at the delivery location. He stops the motorcycle, gets off the vehicle and opens the backpack where the lunch box is, and leaves it on top of the motorcycle. The dog approaches and watches the biker. When the delivery man is distracted calling the customer at the door of the house, one of the lunchboxes slips and falls to the floor.
The caramel dog then comes towards the bag and takes it with its mouth. Everything happens without the delivery person noticing. Until he goes back to the backpack and sees that there is only one lunchbox. But at that moment the little dog was already far away.
Tharles Costa, owner of the restaurant “Delícias de Francisca”, says that the delivery man was “stolen” when he went to the intercom to call the customer. Without knowing the whereabouts of the lunchbox, the delivery man Roseilson Melo was unable to explain the reason for the disappearance of the meal.
“The customer couldn't believe the food was gone. The delivery man arrived here bewildered, not knowing what to do. After all, he didn't see the dog. We decided to go to the place and ask for the video from the security cameras, that's when we saw everything that happened. The story went viral and I have already been contacted by people from several states”, he said.
Through the restaurant's social networks, the owner of the establishment shows that they reacted with good humor to the episode. In addition to publishing the video of the theft, they managed to find the “suspect”, who was received with affection.
