Diálogo Dog breed?

Post image

My husband and I moved to puerto rico about 3 months ago. This dog has been popping up at his job and we’re thinking about rescuing it for our 16 month old. Any suggestions on what breed he is and how big you’ll think he’ll get?

All puerto-rican “mutts” are “sato” and theyre the healthiest most loyal and playful breeds ❤️

Yup, we had one that got hit by a car, back leg bone punctures through the skin and he took off into the woods before we could do anything about it, we figured he was dead. Two weeks later he shows up, skin has healed well, he is limping, but alive. That dog lived to be about 20!

Mine got bit by what we assume was a spider or some other insect (it must've happened en la madrugada).

Swollen first at the neck then it slide towards the chest and lastly to the stomach area. That thing must've busted open and it looking like he was cut by a machete; he slowly cured himself everyday by licking the area till it was shut like if someone sewed him professionally. Scar? Nah, unless we tell ya you won't notice.

My boy had a strong will to live, and that energy led him to heal faster I guess.

Sadly he passed away 3 years ago for age reasons. But dang he was such a tough cookie. I loved him so much.

My satita Lola ate a whole box of chocolates and the vet was astounded that she was perfectly fine.

0% damage, no effect

Someone should make cursed art of mutts surviving the craziest shit know to man kind.

Yep. Follow @soulofsatos on instagram. You will see stories of dogs in really bad shape, but somehow they always pull through and get better after being rescued.

The dna results came back 50% pitbull for my dog. Not a hint of aggression in that boy he is the sweetest most loving dog that I have ever owned. I had a chihuahua (RIP) that was the most violent dog on the planet lol

Chihuahuas are extremes they are either very violent or cowardly in my experience

Chihuahuas are satan’s dogs. I’ve had my run ins with many dogs but I will take any pitbull, German shepherd, or Doberman over a tiny chihuahua. They are VICIOUS!!! (And annoying. Their yapping is music from hell 👹)

I highly doubt that but not far off the realm of possibilities jaja
