  • Mexican television host Pedro Sola visited an animal rescue center, experiencing his first close interaction with rescued dogs.
  • Sola, who had previously faced controversy over remarks about dogs, described the experience as emotional and admitted he was close to tears.
  • The visit occurred shortly after his employer, TV Azteca, announced a new animal welfare awareness program.

Mexican television personality Pedro Sola recently had an emotional encounter with rescued animals at a rehabilitation center, marking his first significant experience with dogs in such a setting. This visit followed a period of controversy surrounding his public comments about dogs.

During an episode of the entertainment program “Ventaneando,” a segment showcased Sola, along with co-hosts Linet Puente, Ximena Pérez “La Choco,” and Mónica Castañeda, at the Yaakunah center. Sola shared that he was unaccustomed to dogs approaching him and felt a unique connection during the visit, describing the experience as "peculiar."

He explained that while he doesn't fear dogs, he isn't used to interacting with them closely. The atmosphere of the rescue center, dedicated to the care of abandoned and mistreated animals, evoked strong emotions in him. "I was very emotional, I was close to crying twice, but I held back," Sola stated.

The visit also highlighted the work involved in running animal rescue centers and the stories behind the animals they save. This experience comes shortly after TV Azteca, the network where Sola works, announced the launch of an animal welfare and education program for its staff. The company emphasized its commitment to animal protection, noting that Sola's previous remarks did not reflect the company's values.

Me dio mucha emoción, estuve a nada de llorar dos veces, pero me contuve.
