Culiacán, Sinaloa.- Surrounded by emaciated and sick dogs, this is how the life of 62-year-old Gustavo Cabrales García passes, which is increasingly difficult due to the poverty in which he finds himself in the San Rafael neighborhood in Culiacán, Sinaloa, no money to buy food and present a disability due to injuries to the spine and leg, who for several days has been facing a terrible reality, one of his four faithful followers, a mestizo dog named “El Pinto”, suffered severe blows to the head because of his barking in the street, who took him from that moment, to drain a hemorrhage from his nose and snout, for being a victim of animal abuse.
He is always accompanied by his friends and family who are also “El Canelo”, “Blanco” and “La Pinta”, who do not leave him for a minute, despite the fact that they are malnourished, full of ticks, dirty and sick, from eating when there is, anything or croquettes if they are donated.
Humanitarian aid
A light appeared on his tragic path and again the hope arose that they will help him get out of his marginalization, because he only has his birth certificate and lacks everything, such as a voter ID and even the anticovid-19 vaccine, despite being a high-risk older adult, who assures that no one approached him to help him apply the doses.

Visited by Pedro Lobo
Yesterday, Friday, he received a surprise visit from the local deputy, Pedro Villegas Lobo, promoter of amendments to the Animal Protection Lawwho arrived loaded with supermarket bags full of food for Tavo and his pets, who are hungry, thirsty and live in unsanitary conditions, because Tavo sleeps with his four dogs on a dirty mattress with blood from “El Pinto”, which He agonizes from the pain that left him, as his dream tells, “a ball in the head” and his eyes hurt by the cruelty of the attack on the pet.
The same legislator did not believe the drama of Tavo and his faithful followers, who first proceeded to show what he had donated: toilet paper, tuna, mayonnaise, bath soap, sardines, bread, eggs, ham and other canned products. So he also gave her several dozen bottles of purified water, given the lack of money to buy a jug.
Challenge to Estrada Ferreiro
Villegas Lobo criticized the mayor of Culiacán, Jesús Estrada Ferreiro, for not going to where the town and its needs are located, as well as the lack of presence of personnel from the Municipal DIF System, who despite being a public case, none of them approached to help Tavo, his brother Ubaldo, 64, who lives with him and the dogs in extreme poverty.
