After being found the dog was taken to Milagros Caninos sanctuary, where sanctuary owner Patricia Ruiz was asked to help the dog. It was alleged that drug traffickers had practiced on the dog for human mutilation - a punishment handed out by drug traffickers against those who opposed or crossed them.
The Milagros Caninos sanctuary is located in the southern part of Mexico city and houses 128 abused dogs. The dog is continuing to make its recovery.
