His dog died, but the tragedy inspired him to become the superhero Zadrigman, who saves stray animals

The death of his dog Duke in 2020 led a young man from Michoacán, Mexico, to create “Zadrigman,” a superhero who “is dedicated to raising awareness, rescuing little animals, organizing marches and events, giving talks to tell his story and trying to move people so that they love, care for and respect animals,” he says.

Since 2021 he has used his character to inspire children in particular. His story was born from the grief that marked him deeply, but it was transformed into a mission of awareness and rescue that today moves millions on his social media, proving that the greatest strength lies in kindness, capable of turning abandonment into hope ❤️‍🩹.
