This is a true story related by the protagonist Benz, a Dobermann puppy, reflecting on bizarre events in Cuba. Benz is rescued by a foreign scientist working in a joint venture with Cuba in the late 1990s. Accused of being a dangerous dog by his Cuban military boss, Benz escapes execution by joining a team of Cuban scientists and speleologists in the capacity of Search Dog, retained to discover hidden precious metals and jewels.

Risking his life by diving into lakes in the dangerous caves of Cabo San Antonio, located in the Peninsula of Guanahacabibes in the westernmost point of the island of Cuba, he assists in the search for the lost valuable treasures of The Cathedral of San Ildefonso of Merida, Mexico.
Benz recorded his adventures in caves and his love affair with Rubia, a local mongrel dog. He was capable of recording his experiences by using a Brain Clone Helmet, containing a Brain-Computer interface, a non-invasive translator of his thoughts using artificial intelligence, specially developed for him by young Cuban engineers and programmers. This unique Helmet analyzes minor neural electrical signals in his brain and decodes the information.

Based on actual events but told in the most sardonic and simple language of a Dobermann dog, this story is about the hypocrisy of the Cuban communist system in abusing and oppressing ordinary Cubans in the post-revolutionary period. It is a political satire about contemporary Cuba with an anthropomorphic touch.
