I remember a lot of the lyrics to this song, but my best efforts at searching for lyrics online have turned up nothing but articles about actual stray dogs. It's sung by a woman, has a Latin samba-esque beat, and I think I heard it on NPR about 3 years ago.

Opening of the first verse:

"Canella, she's the color of cinnamon

She was given her name by a girl at the Prado cafe"

Opening of the second verse:

"Manolo, he's a fiery chihuahua

He was given his name by the old man who fixes up shoes."

Part of the chorus:

"The stray dogs of San [something] Cuba

They'll follow you all afternoon and they won't ask for much"

The breakdown/climax of the song:

"Canella,

Manolo,

the girl at the Prado cafe,

and the old man who fixes up shoes,

And the writer with paper and pen,

trying to put them all into this song

All they want

All they want is just to belong to someone
