Antunes also shared his favorite moment he had with a dog he met.“One story that stands out is about ‘Cabrita.’ Six years ago, Cabrita was a street dog who seemed to be the leader of a group of dogs that often chased me. Realizing she was the alpha, I started trying to win her over. Slowly, she began to respond to my affection, and we became friends. Once Cabrita trusted me, the other three dogs did too! Today, Cabrita lives in a loving home, which makes me so happy,” Antunes shared a heartwarming story.
