"Sato" is a Puerto Rican slang term referring to the street dogs that overrun its major cities. In Puerto Rico's metropolitan areas, satos can be found living in alleyways, under cars, and between refuse cans. Because of sastos' out-of-control numbers and people's view of them as a public menace and health hazard, they are often the victims of abuse such as burning and drowning.
