The events occurred on October 7, when a man identified as José Arbey tried to enter a house located in the municipality of Copoya, Chiapas, Mexico.
Max, guardian and pet of said house, noticed José’s presence and started to bite his left arm with such intensity that he was about to detach it. After the attack, José was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation and his health is reported as stable.
The case did not take long to reach social networks, where it was reported that relatives and friends of the alleged thief asked that Max be sacrificed. Immediately, groups in favor of animal life and Internet users expressed their support for the dog with the hashtags #DogVader and #ElHeroedeCopoya.
