Found abandoned in a dumpster in Mexico’s central Zacatecas state, a hotbed for cartels and organized crime, Lemon Pie was later transported to the safety of the shelter in the capital..Now, he is ready to take a shot in the online contest for Americans’ most dashing dog, albeit a non-native contestant. The contest, America’s Favorite Pet, is open to pets on the American continent and runs as part of a charity fundraiser.
The contest’s winner, to be announced in March, will secure a $5,000 cash prize and get the chance to model in a two-page spread in Dogster magazine. Ruiz says the dog’s journey teaches “all of us to say ‘yes you can’, to say ‘yes to life’, despite everything. No matter what happens to you.”
