“We were going with my training team when the driver passed us all. The dogs were playing on the left side of the road, when I saw that the dogs crossed I said ‘watch out for the dogs’. One of them managed to cross … the man could stop, did not stop and ran over the puppy“, Marcela Calderón, one of the cyclists, told CITY TV.
The group stopped to tend to the animal, but it was already dead. “The man came down to treat us badly,” says Calderón.

While the cyclists argued with the driver, the dog’s owner notified the police. “They made me show the video to the police to show that the man did have a machete. The policeman approached, checked the car and took out the machete “, Calderón affirms.
Because of the bearing of the weapon, the man was required.
