Formerly a street dog, the stray Matuee entertains the waiters, neighbors and customers of a gas station in the Jardim Novo Campos Elíseos neighborhood, in Campinas. Adopted two years ago, the animal has gained space at the facility, gas station employee uniforms and a public social media profile of abandoned dogs coming to the station so they can be adopt.
Matuee is a canine with a troubled past. His habits included eating food off the street and sleeping in the middle of the road. The dog had been struck by a car when he was discovered one day by a young person in Campinas, So Paulo, Brazil.
The incidents happened in March 2022, and ever since then, the neighborhood has rallied behind them, particularly the employees of a gas station. He has continued working as a gas station employee ever since.
Manager Giovanni Fernandes, 24, recalls: “Matuee came to the post office and everyone was embarrassed and tired, so the boys went to the convenience store and bought him a sausage and they said, did not leave, he stayed with them all day.”
Matuee has made excellent progress in his rehabilitation. He received the service station uniform, his first outfit, as part of an advertising effort. There are social media accounts for the rescued dog. It makes sense that the gas station employees would prepare all of the information for Matuee.
One of the staff members remarked: “Many people may be a little scared when they see him because of his marks on his face, but don’t worry since even though he no longer grows fur, he now feels no pain in the area. referring to the scars from his previous existence on the streets that are visible on Matuee’s physique on his Instagram page.”
