During this time of protest, I know we could all use an uplifting story. So I want to tell you about El Negro Matapacos, the heroic Chilean protest dog who hated the police.pic.twitter.com/quxgmxN7n6
El Negro Matapacos (“Black Cop Killer”) was a stray dog who began showing up to support Chilean student protestors in 2011. He gained famed for never hurting a civilian, but always turned aggressive against the police.pic.twitter.com/T16J4sNld5
He was fiercely protective of the protestors, and he would accompany them into the thick of danger.pic.twitter.com/6VWzBiDsWe
He hated the water canons, but he never retreated. He barked and thrashed and gnashed his teeth. Because he was brave.pic.twitter.com/Mh6NRngC6S
He gave absolutely zero fucks. Here he is making love to his lady friends in front of the cops’ paint splattered tanks.pic.twitter.com/GVuSndodia
He understood solidarity. He understood who the violent thugs were. And he was just a dog.pic.twitter.com/lXhznwkqyU
El Negro Matapacos has become beloved.https://twitter.com/Annik13/status/1187837779159519233 …
pic.twitter.com/hFXVH4tUzxBeloved is probably too weak of a word. El Negro is approaching canonization. This reads: “Patron saint of protestors and street dogs.”pic.twitter.com/zrV04OXvdp
He is the subject of street art throughout Chile.https://twitter.com/Emily_Lykos/status/1193319630246481922 …

A lot of El Negro Matapacos fan art also features Pare Man, a young man who became a folk hero with his handmade sign and complete lack of fear.pic.twitter.com/EZ4Uq0ZK92
El Negro died of old age in 2017 under the care of a volunteer veterinarian. But he will always be remembered taking a stand.pic.twitter.com/fRPWwwhfC4
