In a moving and tragic story that has touched the community in Zipaquirá, Cundinamarca, a dog named Tomás was brutally run over by an irresponsible driver who fled the scene without offering help.
The complaint was made by Eymi Canaria, a resident of the area, who through her Twitter account, @EymiYesCanaria, has been spreading videos of the incident in the hope of identifying the person responsible.

Thomas, a Brave Fighter
