2025 on Pituco's timeline: a proposed park, a song, a book, a comic and a race
A proposed pet park, a song, the book launch, his own comic, a campaign and a race: what the official timeline records for 2025.
Pituco passed away on July 8, 2024. His official page says his passing did not end the story: it expanded a movement for reading and animal welfare. Anyone who opens the timeline understands the line. In 2025 alone it records a proposed park, a song, a book launch, a new comic, a campaign and a race.
May: a proposed park named after him
On May 17, 2025, the proposal for Parque Pet Pituco was announced, in the Parati neighborhood: it would be the first public pet park in Marília. It is a request filed at the City Council by councilwoman Professora Daniela, and it is still in progress. The official text places the proposal among the public policies that came to echo Pituco's message, alongside tributes, school programs and fundraising for NGOs.
June: a song and a book
On June 5, Duo Juriti released "Pituco", the song the timeline calls the official track and that, in the page's words, immortalizes the hero-dog.
Nine days later, on June 14, came the official launch of Quatro Patas, a história de Pituco, a book by Tiago de Moraes das Chagas and Ramon Barbosa Franco. The work had been selected for Marília's PNAB cultural grant in December 2024. The launch event collected 75 kg of pet food for the NGO Amor Animal.
July: his own comic
On July 8, 2025, one year after Pituco's passing, the crowdfunding campaign for Pituco Nº 1: Aurora Esmeralda was launched. The comic's page records its release in September 2025: 32 pages, in cartoon style and a playful tone, from Mustache Comics.
October: stickers and a race
On October 9, the free sticker distribution of the Eu Freio Para Animais campaign officially began: 10,000 stickers featuring Pituco, inviting drivers to slow down and protect animal life.
Days later, on October 18 and 19, Pituco was featured at the RCR Radius Pet Run, the 13th Pompéia race, which raised pet food donations for abandoned animals.

And after 2025
The timeline did not stop there. On April 4, 2026, Pitucão, the mascot inspired by Pituco, debuted at the civic parade for Marília's 97th anniversary, on Avenida Sampaio Vidal. The official page closes with a line that sums it all up: superheroes never die.
