Dog that visits a marisco restaurant every day

Todos los días, un perro amigable va al camión/carpa de comida de Baja Mar en Tucson. Ahí venden buenos mariscos. El perrito es lo suficientemente valiente como para acercarse a las personas que comen en el lugar y pedirles amablemente algo de comida.
