Jotchua
A golden retriever puppy surfaced in a Spanish-language adoption post out of Monterrey, Mexico. Cradled in a single hand, he stared into the soul of anyone who scrolled past. The listing named him Caín.
The internet kept only the golden one. Cropped from his brother Abel and passed from page to page, he was crowned Perro Dinero — the money dog. A macro promised fortune to any who made him their portrait. On the 24th of January, 2021, a single word was fixed beneath his grainy likeness: Jotchua.
