Chiquinquirá is mourning the loss of a familiar and much-loved presence. Negrito, a dog who lived nearly 18 remarkable years, passed away this week in the arms of his caregiver.

Negrito was more than a pet. He became an icon in the town, faithfully present at marches, festivals, celebrations, and even funerals. Wherever the community gathered, Negrito was there — a quiet symbol of loyalty and togetherness.

In his final years, he was given the best care possible. His guardian ensured that he lived with dignity, comfort, and affection. Chicken breast and kindness filled his days, along with the love of a family who cherished him.

“Today my heart is crushed,” his caregiver shared. “I told him I loved him, that he could go peacefully, and I thanked him for being in my life.”

Though the pain of parting is heavy, Negrito leaves behind a legacy of joy, companionship, and community spirit. For nearly two decades, he walked beside the people of Chiquinquirá, a constant reminder of the bond between humans and animals.

Today, neighbors grieve together, remembering a dog who touched countless lives simply by being present. Negrito may have left this world, but his memory will live on in the streets he walked and the hearts he touched.
