We are proud to tell you
that Bogotá,

its administration,
Mr Mayor,



are going to be part
of the programme

launched by the national
government.

First, we have identified

lands of the city of Bogotá

where, on this first phase
of the project,

we will be able to build
12000 social housing.

It represents an investment
of thousands of millions of dollars.

Regarding the sites,
the five new programmes of...

Wolfs are cunning
and hunt in packs,

always on the lookout
for an easy prey.

They have developed

an anatomical design
totally fit for hunting,

as they hunt in packs,

but are also great runners,



as their prey also run.

Their nervous system

actively reacts
to external stimuli

in order to detect
invaders or strangers.

Since their ancestors evolved
to hunt by night,

the vision of the dogs
is sensitive to conditions

of low intensity light.

They are highly intelligent animals,
with big brain and cranium.

...to facilitate the mechanisms
allowing the densification

of some areas of Bogotá.

I do love this idea.

We are going to see
which rule will be necessary,

and how to accelerate...

...to always dream bigger.

Thanks to this building company,
your dreams will come true.

Take a look
at the new urbanization plans

that will allow you to evolve.

Welcome to the Bogotáof...

After centuries of relationship

between prehistoric people
and wild wolves,

dogs were the first domesticated
animals to live among men.

People have benefited
from their natural skills.

For aesthetic
or functional reasons,

they have modified
their wild behaviours.

More than 750 millions of people
live with dogs.

Stray dogs guard better
than domesticated ones,

as they are territorial.

If someone gives them food,
dogs are very faithful.

Stray dogs look after
their territories better,

they won't let anyone walk in.

It was his first shift there,
he was stepping in for someone,

so the dogs didn't know him.

Dogs have evolved
during difficult times,

among many predators.

But their great strength
as a group

has allowed them to conquer...

Because more than 200000 families

are looking for a house.

45000 new houses!

One has to keep in mind though,

that domesticated dogs
are descended

from these powerful
hunting machines,

from these carnivorous predators,

from these impressive animals.

The company had several buildings
in construction,

and the dogs were given food,

for them to help guard
the materials

used for the construction.

...gifted with jaws

fitted with huge molars
and sharp teeth

made for ripping flesh
and crush bones.

Taking advantage of this offer

is the big opportunity for Bogotá.

Their hostility is still
the best way for them

to mark out and protect their land.

In many Third World cities,

dogs are massively abandoned.

...these building companies.

With this interest rate,

you have to choose
to buy your house.

...they face starvation
and have to survive on rubbish.

They have to form packs
in order to protect

their territories and resources.

In Bogotá, there are more
than 600000 abandoned dogs,

especially
on the outskirts of the city.

Your attention please.
As time goes by,

questions arise about the death
of a security guard

who was attacked during the night
by a pack of hounds

in the Bosa area.

Some say these dogs
had been trained

to guard the buildings
on these sites.

And, of course,
the authorities are investigating

this unfortunate incident.

I think that today,
the Colombian Senate

is taking a great step
regarding housing.

Our aim is to achieve
this objective:

that construction in Colombia
keeps on driving the economy,

generating employment,

and, above all,
being the political drive

of the coming elections,

during which we will fight again,

as always.

We are all part of the same pack.
