Young pup left to fend for himself

My dad found a little black dog running in and out the doors of a small grocery store in Brownsville TX. He asked around if he belonged to anyone; they all said no he’s been here over a week! One of the employees had been feeding him but didn’t want another dog, so dad took this little guy home with him. Dad calls, "you want a dog?" He said, "I found this skinny pup begging for food, he’s a friendly one but I did have coax him to get in the truck with me. Someone just abandoned him at the store parking lot." I live over 400 miles away and already had 3 dogs & a cat, all rescues, but my elderly dad has never brought home an abandoned dog so of course I said yes. Then I had to tell my husband we were getting another dog! I fibbed and said we were getting the dog for a friend of ours. Guess what, we kept him for ourselves and named him Chico. He loves my husband, loves to go for rides in our truck; can’t say the words “let’s go” around him, he is the first one at the door. He loves his furry brothers and loves chasing the cat. The cat sits next to him and they end up grooming each other. Thanks to Dad, we have another furry baby. ❤️
