    Isn’t “cachorro” actually “puppy” (as in, specifically young dogs)?

    So “beating a dead puppy”?

    (My native language is Spanish, but maybe it has another meaning in Portuguese; too lazy to search the interwebz)

      AFAIK it is a puppy if you’re in Continental Portugal, and an adult dog if you’re in Madeira or Brazil.
