A Venezuelan teenage migrant's journey to the United States-Mexico border endured a heartbreaking moment when he had to separate himself from the pet dog who accompanied him on his long journey.
Brayan Pinto, 18, and his small fluffy white dog, Brandy, traveled through several Central and South America countries, a treacherous tropical jungle in Panama, and all the way north through Mexico in order to seek asylum with the United States government.
Brandy was given to Pinto two years ago by his mother before she passed away.
'Leaving her is like leaving a family member, like leaving a sister, a son on this side,' Pinto said.
The petite pooch and Pinto, along with his uncles, walked across a shallow part of the Rio Grande to turn themselves over to the U.S. Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, on Sunday when he learned that he could not do so with Brandy in tow.
'They tell me that I have to leave her, because you can't cross to the other side, that they do a lot of helping us to help the puppies too,' Pinto said, as quoted by El Diario de Juárez.
In an email statement to DailyMail.com, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that the agency follows guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in admitting dogs and other pets into the United States
According to the CDC, 'all dogs must appear healthy upon arrival. Dogs that arrive sick or injured will be required to undergo veterinary examination and testing at the importer's expense to rule out diseases that can spread to people.'

Is there anyway to contribute to busing the people to NYC, DC, Martha’s Vineyard, Silicon Valley, etc.?
I wish there was a GoFundMe (or the other one that’s not liberal) I could help contribute to Texas and AZ for paying to dump these people on liberal bluebloods.
I should care why?
I feel like I should make a donation to the local cat rescue in your name
Charge Pinto with animal neglect and deport him. Problem solved.
He’s not an immigrant. He has no legal status. Remain in Mexico should’ve continued to be the policy
Oh no where’s AOC’s picture crying fake tears over the dog being deported.
As a general contractor, most of the roofing jobs I compete with is from companies that hires Hispanics. I do have a crew that I use and they are on the job at 7 and leave at 7. I did talk (had a Cuban who could translate for me) and they ask me to send a TACO Truck to the job site. A few days ago it was drizzling and they were still on the roof. Nothing wrong with Hispanics, I had to make sure they were all LEGAL and they were.
R U F*going kidding me.
He is in this country illegally and someone is worried about him loosing his dog?
God I hate liberals and their idiot view of the world.
This is a completely bogus, stupid, and otherwise asinine article.
Just say we did would slow them down
Life’s a bitch, then you die.
Dogs are required to be vaccinated against rabies if they are brought from one of the high-risk countries
That’s higher standards for dogs than people.
I guess they care more about diseases that can be spread from dogs to people than from people to people.
There’s so much wrong with that picture that it’s hard to know where to begin.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
The media always lose their cameras around rape trees.
Cry me a frickin’ river. Que lastima. NOT!
I do. These aholes need to fix their own damn countries.
Where and when and by whom was it decided that we’re Motel 6 for the whole freakin’ world?
Si! E no Pedro. Vete a case Pedro!
