MAKATI CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Makati Bureau) – In a bizarre case of mistaken assumption, the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) has decided to unleash the legal hounds on Chihuahua Mexican Grill in Greenbelt, Makati. Why? PAWS assumed the restaurant was violating the Animal Welfare Act, serving up man’s best friend in their burritos.

The misunderstanding arose from the misleadingly adorable name of the establishment, Chihuahua Mexican Grill. PAWS, apparently thinking the grill was going full-on culinary Cruella de Vil, filed a lawsuit faster than you can say “taco ’bout a mix-up.”

However, it turns out the only thing being grilled at Chihuahua is good old beef, pork, and chicken. PAWS might need a crash course in menu interpretation, proving once and for all that jumping to conclusions can land you in the legal doghouse.

Moral of the story: before unleashing the legal beasts, make sure you’re barking up the right taco truck.
