A trucker who wanted a quick bite to eat received a citation Saturday for putting his young puppy in a quarter-slot newspaper box in Lincoln.

The trucker, Nebyou Brook, of Oakland California, wanted to grab something to eat from a fast-food restaurant. Brook said he wasn’t allowed to take the puppy inside and he didn’t want to leave him in the truck, so he inserted the required amount of quarters and placed the approximately 7-week-old terrier puppy in a newspaper sales box.

According to the Associated Press, another man saw what happened, so he put popped some coins into the box to retrieve the puppy.

The trucker was cited for animal neglect and was allowed to keep the puppy.
