Find a dog, get a caffeine buzz for a year!
A Brooklyn woman made a dog lover's day when she found a missing pooch - and now a Fort Greene cafe owner plans to award the heroine a year's supply of coffee.
"I'm so thrilled the dog was found," said Basquali, the one-name-only owner of Smooch, a coffee shop on Carlton Ave.
"It made my day."
And it also made 52-year-old Annette Smith's day. She was the heartbroken - and now overjoyed - owner of August, a 10-month-old Labrador-mastiff mix, who vanished Sunday in Fort Greene Park.
A tracking chip implanted in August helped the dogcatcher, who said she didn't want to be named, trace the animal back to Smith.
"She said she found my dog through Petlink," Smith said of the tracking system. "I'm just so elated that we could have a happy ending."
The pooch-loving Basquali, whose reward offer was detailed in yesterday's Daily News, is now preparing to honor the anonymous hero dogcatcher: "She's going to absolutely love my coffee," he said.
