Stories of a dog’s loyalty are often heartwarming, but this one is nothing short of legendary. It’s the tale of Morocho, a brave dog who risked his life to save two little girls, Sofie and Yoli, from a deadly encounter with a wild Puma.
It all began on an ordinary day when Sofie and Yoli wandered into the forest near their home to pick figs from a tree. As they climbed up the fig tree, they noticed they weren’t alone—a Puma, a powerful wildcat weighing 180 lbs, was also perched there. The realization struck too late, and the Puma lunged at them without warning.

The terrified girls fell from the tree and began running for their lives. The Puma, however, was relentless and gave chase. That’s when Morocho, Sofie’s loyal dog, sprang into action. Despite weighing only 90 lbs—half the Puma’s size—Morocho charged fearlessly at the wildcat to defend the girls.
Hearing the commotion, Sofie’s father, Tomas Bracamonte, ran to the scene. What he found was both devastating and heroic: Morocho, severely injured, lying on the ground, and the lifeless body of the Puma a few feet away. Morocho had fought valiantly and emerged victorious, saving the girls from certain harm.
