A Peruvian restaurant has started using its leftovers to prepare tasty meals for stray dogs in a touching initiative that has warmed the hearts of netizens.
The idea was launched by the owner of the restaurant ‘Ajilalo’, Gerardo Reyes Ortiz, in the Ate district in the Lima province in eastern Peru.
The restaurant is specialised in ‘anticuchos’, a traditional Peruvian brochette (skewer).
The big-hearted owner shared these images of the dogs enjoying their tasty meals along with the message: “To all our friends who have a restaurant I invite them to add themselves to our initiative. Lets put our leftovers together and make food for stray dogs.”
The snaps also show the tasty full plates that the pooches enjoy with one dog looking from the front door of the restaurant with hungry eyes.
Netizens supported the action with enthusiastic comments on social media.
Netizen ‘Fresia Saavedra Bisso’ wrote on Facebook: “With that big heart your dishes must be very good, I will pay you a visit”
Facebook user ‘Kevin Re’ said: “God bless you and let’s make it an example for other people and businesses.”
Reyes Ortiz said on Facebook: “It is beautiful that people have reacted so well. Every time we make ‘anticuchos’ (traditional Peruvian brochette) we use the leftovers to make food for the stray dogs”
