>Becerrillo (meaning "Little Bull Calf") was the name of a legendary Castilian attack dog during the 16th century
>The dog was owned by Ponce de León. When he was busy with his duties as the governor of Puerto Rico amd entrusted to the care of Captain Diego Guilarte de Salazar
>He would use Becerrillo to attack natives who defied the conquistadors, attempting to terrorize them into accepting the rule of the Spanish invaders
>During a battle in which the natives launched a surprise attack against the village where the Spanish troops led by Guilarte de Salazar were encamped, Becerrillo alerted the conquistadors by barking until they awoke. Guilarte de Salazar entered the battle with the dog at his side. During the course of the half-hour-long battle, Becerrillo alone killed thirty-three of the native attackers
>The reputation of the killer dog spread. He became more feared than the men he fought alongside. The dog was accomplished at finding and instilling fear in the Indians and able to do the work of fifty soldiers. He was fed the same rations as the men and paid a wage
