Introducing Morocho: The Courageous Dogo Argentino Who Defeated a Puma to Protect Two Young Girls.
This heroic tale unfolded a few months ago when Ulises, the grandson of Dr. Antonio Nores MartÃnez—who developed the Dogo Argentino breed—ventured to La Concha for routine chores, accompanied by his ten-year-old daughter, SofÃa. Their journey to the estate was unremarkable.
Upon arriving at the estate, Ulises began tasks with Tomás, the foreman. Meanwhile, SofÃa and Yoli, Tomás’s daughter, asked to visit a giant fig tree 700 yards from the main house to enjoy some fresh figs. Aiming for the best fruits, Yoli climbed to the topmost branches.
Unbeknownst to her, a puma, also known as a mountain lion or cougar, was lurking in the same tree. As Yoli neared the ground, she heard rustling noises above. Moments later, a large puma leapt down, striking her with a paw and causing her to fall two meters onto her back.
During this terrifying moment, neither child knew that Morocho, Ulises’s robust Dogo Argentino, had been trailing them. His presence was marked by his playful demeanor and wagging tail, a common sight when accompanying the family around the estate.
Alarmed by the girls’ screams, Yoli’s father sprinted toward the scene.
Faced with the menacing puma, Morocho bravely intervened, risking his life to protect the two girls. Tomás Bracamonte, Yoli’s father, initially thought the commotion was caused by a snake, but he arrived to discover the aftermath of a fierce confrontation.
He found Morocho severely injured but alive, having successfully driven the puma away.
Thanks to Morocho’s valor, the two young girls survived the ordeal unscathed. This remarkable act of bravery has captivated millions worldwide, showcasing the profound bond and protective instincts of our canine companions.
Morocho, a true guardian angel in fur, reminds us of the extraordinary courage animals can exhibit. Bless him!
