has been walking this same stretch of beach in front of for almost eight years. It's amazing how many people just pass on by without even acknowledging his existence. He does seem to find solace in the few friends he makes each day. At night, however, he curls up alone to await the morning sun and the returning in hopes of finding a few scraps of food, water and some friendly scratches. I hate to think how this little dog has endured so many and (including ) on his own... and that one day he may die as he lived - alone.

For those that visit and help feed , here's just a few tips. Lobo may be shy to eat out of your hand the first time or two. I started by placing food on a rock. He doesn't like the deli meat or the hardboiled eggs. He also seems to find it challenging to chew crunchy parts of meat ... so I found the fatty parts of the bacon (which are in huge supply at the buffet), the real chicken , ham or beef (pulled into little bite sized pieces) and the hamburger (as long as it's not to crispy- no lie he ate the 'inside' of a burger one day when it was too crisp on the outside). I can't see any obvious teeth issues but never know. He may also turn his nose up at the food at first try... but usually will take it on the second or third offering so don't give up. I also noticed some one offered him water in a cup and he didn't drink .... I put a different cup down into the sand so it wouldn't spill and filled it from a bottle of water (free at the resort!) And he drank the whole thing...so he's a bit sensitive to new people (is all I can guess). If anyone gets the chance to meet Lobo the in at please let us know 🙏. Love updates and pics.

If you see him on your next visit to Punta Cana, please SUPPORT him and thank him for what he does for Lobo.
