In Sonora, Mexico, a heroic dog named Palomo saved his owner Don Goyo from an unfortunate fate by leading the Mexican authorities to him when he desperately needed help.

Don Goyo's absence didn't receive the instant attention of his relatives, as he often visited cities traveling.
Authorities began the search for Gregorio, but they yielded no results, and all hope had started to fade into the wilderness
