Although the artist remains anonymous, the mural pays tribute to Tsunami, the rescue dog who went viral worldwide in the summer of 2026. He was an abused stray dog from Caracas who was trained to become a celebrated Border Collie rescue dog. Following the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, he helped rescue dozens of survivors from under the rubble. This inspired street artists all over the world (from Venezuela to London) to paint tributes to him.
