Turns out there is a town in Texas called Alice. And it also turns out its former Mayor, Grace Saenz-Lopez, is a lier and a dog-thief.
According to a story on today’s New York Times, Saenz-Lopez took advantage of her super powers (i.e. being the Mayor of Alice, Texas) to steal Puddles from their rightful owners, change its name and move it to a ranch in a town far, far away.
“When the mayor, Grace Saenz-Lopez, agreed to take care of her next-door neighbors’ sick Shih Tzu and ended up keeping it, telling them the dog was dead and buried, it was bound to get ugly. Particularly after the mop-haired critter, Puddles, turned up quite alive — and renamed Panchito — at Ms. Saenz-Lopez’s twin sister’s ranch 14 miles away.”
Oh dear. The saddest thing is that, despite what its residents think, Alice will forever be remember as the town whose (Latina) mayor stole a dog.

Double whammy!!! Political liar and Latino thief!!! She really filled those stereotypes on this one! But look at those cute little eyes, my sticky Mexican fingers might have done the same!!jajaja
But seriously, stealing is bad!
I’ve been to Alice and I never suspected the mayor of such a town to be involved in canine thievery.
Alice Texas has been known for worse crimes than this. Let go of the doggie thing already.
