About

Este es Mierdon refers to an old, ugly dog with immunodeficiency and Leishmania that became notable in Spanish-speaking meme circles on Twitter and elsewhere in October 2022. After a tweet was posted about adopting Mierdon, the "perro feo" became an exploitable. In English, "mierda" translates to "shit."

Origin

It's currently unknown where the picture of the old, ugly dog came from. However, it was shared on Pinterest ^[1] as early as September 9th, 2015. On October 4th, 2022, Twitter^[2] user jorgisimo__ tweeted a screenshot of a since-deleted tweet that read, "la gente be like: adopta no compres! las protectoras: este es Mierdon, tiene inmunodeficienciesy leishmania…" The tweet received roughly 2,200 likes in six days.

Later on October 4th, 2022, Twitter^[3] user FreeMomotrashh used the text from the aforementioned tweet but gave Mierdon a visual. Essentially, the tweet posed a situation in which someone says "adopt don't buy" but then the dog is named "Shit" and "has immunodeficiency and leishmania, and because he was abused for the first 10 years of his life and because of his dementia, he can't go near children or grandparents and needs to eat 7 times a day." Over the course of six days, the tweet received roughly 19,600 likes (shown below).

la gente be like: adopta no compres!!

las protectoras: este es Mierdon, tiene inmunodeficiencia y leishmania, y debido a que fue abusado durante los primeros 10 años de su vida y a su demencia, no puede acercarse a niños ni a abuelos y necesita comer 7 veces al día

Translation: people be like: adopt don't buy!!

the protectors: this is Shit, he has immunodeficiency and leishmania, and because he was abused for the first 10 years of his life and because of his dementia, he can't go near children or grandparents and needs to eat 7 times a day
