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

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!

What do you think ?
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.
Agreed. Poor little pup xx
There's water in the bucket he's carrying. It seems to me they just think it's cute he carries his bucket with him. They say something about "home", though I'm not sure if they are telling him to go home or wondering aloud where he lives (I know very little of the language). Not sure what harm filming him does since he has his water.
I was thinking that the entire time.
How about you inform yourself first? there was no water at all not even in stores or coming out from the tap. Just like the dog, for 5 days, you had to go fetch your own water from a tanker truck. And by the end of the video you can see and hear the owner. So calm your tits, stfu and enjoy a funny video
How about you learn some manners?
I am torn on this one to be honest. I do understand, that in a city where water ran short, people have to check for themselves first. But there are so many people passing by. Okay, he is having some water in his bucket, but... And then those who take the time, to take a vid of an animal in need, just to fish for compliments on the internet. At least he looks healthy on the outside. Again - You don't need to make a vid or pic of everything and put it on the internet. Rather use that time to help those, who need it, human or animal. Sorry, maybe it's just me, but it makes me a bit angry. Maybe I do wrong them. Not sure.
You are not wrong at all. I am furious with those people not giving him water even though they understand this situation perfectly well. They'd rather sit around and laugh while filming him than get him some water. What have we become?
He has water! are u blind or just plain stupid? btw, the owner is on the video at the very end. it's a well-cared dog
Animals deserve way more respect then this, and it breaks my heart to see an animal in need
i saw the video and hoped in the comments people like you would understand my frustration. The poor dog, JUST GIVE HIM SOME WATER U UNWORTHY HUMANS
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.
ThankYou so much for clearing this up...
He DOES have water.He knows he'll need water and so is just taking the bucket with him!! just like my dog to takes his food bowl with him to his bed.!!
