Johnny Cueto pays tribute to dead horse with photos of carcass image

Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto has always had a bit of a flair for the dramatic. Demonstrative on the mound, utilizing all sorts of deliveries to throw batters off balance, he's no stranger to bringing a little bit of attention to himself. Cueto seems to bring a little of that off the field, as well.

On Friday, Cueto lost a valued member of his family - his horse - and decided to post a photo on Instagram to honor it. However, his tribute to the horse on Instagram took a grim turn when he actually posted a photo of the late animal's body.

 

Te vamos a extrañar 🐴🐴🐴😥😥

The caption reads, "Te vamos a extrañar," which translates to "we will miss you."

While losing a dear animal is extremely painful, it's a bit creepy to have photos of its dead body on the internet. But if that helps Cueto heal, then so be it.
