Pipoca, the mascot of the host of ‘Arriba Mi Gente’, put the production back and a half. The cute creature couldn’t stand it and got busy in the middle of the program.
While the driver and the veterinarian Pancho Cavero talked about the behavior of pets, the creature couldn’t take it anymore and relieved itself live, leaving the drivers speechless. Although they immediately cleaned up their debris, netizens did not miss this moment and went viral with the video. In addition, they celebrated the presence of Pipoca on the set.
The acceptance of the canine has been such that it has had continuous appearances on the morning show. Infobae contacted Fernando Díaz and did not hesitate to tell us a little more about his faithful companion.
Pipoca is a Bichon Frize dog. Currently, she is 6 years old and is of medium size. The pet came into the arms of the journalist as a token of affection from a family and he did not hesitate to adopt it.

Fernando Díaz used his social networks to demonstrate his indignation at the recent appearance of Chema, Brunella Horna’s puppy, on ‘América Hoy’.
As Fernando Díaz himself told Infobae, it was in 2016 that he made a report on former soccer player Juan Carlos Bazalar, who had faced aggressive stomach cancer and needed help. There he met this family’s pet named Roxy, who was pregnant.
Some time later, the family contacted him to ask if he would agree to keep one of his Roxy’s pups as a thank you for making the report. This is how Pipoca came to his home and now he has earned the love of viewers.

The appearance in ‘Arriba Mi Gente’ is not the first that Pipoca has made on television. His ‘debut’ on the small screen was when Fernando was part of ATV, in one of the programs where he was going to talk about the importance of the emergency backpack for pets. Back then, the TV host did not hesitate to take his pet.

The actress was reunited with her great friends and former colleagues from Al Fondo Hay Sitio. The three artists did not hesitate to publish it on their Instagram account.
“I took her to the news. The sequence worked so well that on another occasion we decided to touch on the subject of canine behavior and training. It was there that she showed her fangs to Alicia, she growled at half the world, she behaved badly, ”she commented to this medium.
Last Wednesday, February 22, Pipoca was invited to the set of ‘Arriba Mi Gente’ to be part of a sequence with the veterinarian Pancho Cavero. In this space, they were going to talk about the body language of pets, so other dogs arrived. In the middle of the conversation between the animal specialist and the journalist, Pipoca did her thing and “marked her territory” live. The fact surprised her owner.

“Pancho (Cavero) says that it is very normal in dominant females like her, that she is recontra empowered as you have seen her, she does not shrink. I never imagined that a live “deposition” would have so much rebound when it is normal behavior in animals. But beyond that, it is the affection that people have for her to the point of wanting to always have her on the set”, Fernando commented.
Fernando Díaz shares with Pipoca on social networks, so on more than one occasion he appears with her on his Instagram account. In addition to showing her as her faithful companion, the host of ‘Arriba Mi Gente’ mentions that he seeks to promote responsible pet ownership.
“Those who follow me on social networks know that she is my faithful companion. I promote responsible pet ownership and the care and affection that we should give them. Pipo loves cameras and photos, people enjoy ‘PipoUnboxing’, which is the moment in which I open with her some of the gifts that entrepreneurs sometimes give me”, she expressed.
On the other hand, he considers that it is the responsibility of the owners to take care of their pets and treat them as such.
“Many have asked me to make an Instagram account for him, but I think that would be too much. You have to see dogs as life partners, as allies, but not humanize them or pamper them to the maximum or overprotect them because that is also considered animal abuse, ”she explained.

After her recent appearance on the screen, many of Pipoca’s followers asked her as an official member of the magazine, as they enjoyed her presence. Given this, Fernando Díaz does not close the possibility, but considers that it must be with a purpose.
“We are seeing that possibility (that it always appears) it is not about taking it for the sake of taking it. It does not cause me any problem that she is with me, it does not make me tense either, only that I have to be aware of her a bit, but the idea is that she go with a purpose that has to do with the sequence of pets, “said the man from press.
Meanwhile, on the official social networks of the Latina program, the return of Pipoca was announced this Monday, February 27. They have even called his “sequence” “Arriba Mi Pipoca”, so he will once again be together with Pancho Cavero to answer netizens’ questions about pet care.
