At the International Rodeo of Vacaria, Brazilian singer Mano Lima honored his promise by inviting the dog Catarina, the event's mascot, on stage during his show. This special moment occurred as Lima performed his song "Cadela Baia" (Bay Dog), which resonated well with the audience and added an extra touch of local culture to the event. The visual connection between the dog and the song was emphasized by Catarina's similar fur color, mirroring the song's theme.

Catarina has become a local celebrity at the rodeo, captivating the crowd with her vibrant appearance, which included a specially adapted hat and the flag of Rio Grande do Sul secured beside her body while being "mounted" on a bull. This amusing spectacle contributed to the festive atmosphere of the rodeo, true to its traditional roots, showcasing the unique bond between the local culture and its animal companions.

The presence of Catarina, a companion of drover Antônio Lima from Bom Jesus, highlights the importance of animals in rural Brazilian culture, particularly at such events where tradition and community converge. Her popularity at the rodeo not only entertains but also symbolizes the deep-rooted traditions of the region, further connecting attendees to the cultural heritage of the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
