Based on actual events but told in the most sardonic and simple language of a Dobermann dog, this story is about hypocrisy and abuse ordinary Cubans suffer in their own country in the post-revolutionary period.
Benz, a Dobermann puppy, is rescued by a foreigner working in a Joint Venture in Cuba in the late 1990s, providing an opportunity for this dog to participate in the adventures of a challenging and exciting new environment. Trained as an Ore Search Dog to detect the scent of the lost gold and silver treasures of The Cathedral of San Ildefonso of Merida, he ventures into the caves of Cabo San Antonio in Guanahacabibes, risking his life to locate the lost treasures.
Benz describes his adventures and the dramatic end of an amorous relationship with a local mongrel dog in his notes, which he was able to record by wearing his Brain Clone Helmet, containing the Brain-Computer interface specially developed for him by young Cuban engineers and programmers. This unique Helmet permitted Benz to discriminate minor neural electrical signals in his brain and decode the information, which started his writing career.
His story is a political satire about contemporary Cuba with an anthropomorphic touch.
