The actress reflected on their lifelong bond, her heartbreak, and the painful final moments they shared together.

The actress explained that Pasita had been by her side since childhood. While many people pointed out how lucky she was to have had her dog for such a long time, González said that perspective only made her feel even more pain. “For almost 24 years, it was always you and me,” she continued. “People try to comfort me by saying I had you for such a long time, but what they don’t understand is that I’m mourning every single one of those years, days, minutes, and moments we shared. You’ve been with me since I was a child.”

González reflected on the way Pasita witnessed nearly every chapter of her life, from adolescence to adulthood. “Anyone who has ever truly loved a pet knows this kind of bond,” she shared. “You were there through my teenage years, through becoming a woman, through every high and every low, through every place life took me. No matter where I went, it was always us.”
