Overview
- A widely shared video captured a stray dog entering a Miniso at the Las Américas mall in Mérida, Yucatán, taking a plush toy in its mouth.
- Shoppers at the scene pooled money to buy the plush so the dog could keep it, turning the moment into a small act of holiday generosity.
- Miniso staff later clarified they sought to recover the toy only to complete billing and said there was no violent attempt to take it from the dog.
- Posts by users including TikTok’s @alehdezrivero and Fersita Dlg amplified the clip across platforms and drew national attention.
- El Heraldo de México reports the dog has been adopted and given the name Thor, with the new family sharing videos of his relocation, noting the original plush was lost.
