Sadly, he wouldn’t let anyone catch him, so el Vaquita’s comrades came up with a plan.
They got to work and organised a fake protest march from revolution square to a local vet’s office. The plan worked and the riot dogs, including el Vaquita, joined up with the march, eager to start harassing some more riot police with their human comrades.
