In 1975 and as a consequence of the 25th of April Revolution, Quinta do Índio was occupied by workers and radical leftist supporters who drove out the family. Of the 32 existing water dogs only 15 were rescued 6 months later but in such a bad condition that all had to be euthanized. With the occupation of the property, Cintrón and family left Portugal and went into exile in Mexico until the end of the eighties.
