"Monument to the Stray Dog"), also known as Peluso, is an outdoor bronze sculpture installed along Insurgentes Sur Avenue, in the southern borough of Tlalpan, in Mexico City.

The shelter collected money and paid for the sculpture in order to raise awareness about the large population of free-ranging dogs in the city.

[4] It cost Mex$130,000[1] and Milagros Caninos paid it with the contributions of private donations in order to raise awareness about the high population of free-ranging dogs in the city.

[5] When it was inaugurated, the monument featured a plaque that said:[2] Inscription (in Spanish): Mi único delito fue nacer y vivir en las calles o ser abandonado.

It lies in the corner of Insurgentes Sur Avenue and Moneda Street, near the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, and between Ayuntamiento and Fuentes Brotantes Metrobús stations, in the center of Tlalpan, the southern borough of Mexico City.

[8] Castro criticized the status of the monument, adding that it is ironic as its main purpose was to denounce the abandonment of stray dogs.
