"This is the news of the day," says a user on Facebook, posting an event that couldn't be nicer at Christmas.
In the Mexican city of Plaenque there is a beautiful nativity scene in the middle of the market square, which enchants visitors with its typical figures such as Mary, Joseph, an ox, a donkey and the three wise men.
But a few days ago, a stray dog mingled with them.
Looking for a warm and sheltered place.

The photos of the stray dog spread like wildfire and conquered social networks.
Now many locals visit the marketplace.
Most people feel compassion and affection for the young mother and provide her with water and food daily.
The local authorities have also got involved and are doing everything possible not to chase the dog out of the tent for the time being.
Animal rights activists from the Dejando Huellitas SOS Palenque
organization have also gotten involved
