An article from La Nación describes a viral marketing campaign by a dog walker in Buenos Aires' Colegiales neighborhood.

Initially, residents were alarmed, sharing the message through WhatsApp groups, with some expressing genuine concern for their pets. However, the truth was later revealed, and while some remained unaware, others quickly realized it was a promotional tactic. The article highlights how the unique residential environment of Colegiales made the story believable, leading to widespread engagement.
