• After three days quarantined in his house in Mexico, Antonio Munoz got a yen for Cheetos.
With the neighborhood store just feet away, but out of reach for a nonessential trip outside, Munoz enlisted the help of his chihuahua, Chokis.
Munoz attached a note and $20 to Chokis' collar and sent the dog across the street.
