Cook is one of the most emblematic dogs on Spanish television. Apart from working in the Lottery and in series such as Los Serrano or La que se cerca, this tender animal also played the role of Valentín in Here there is no one who lives. He was the pet of Vicenta Benito, a character played by the revered actress Gemma Cuerva.
During the filming of the series, a real connection was born between the two: the actress still has a very special affection for him even though years have passed since the end of the legendary series directed by Alberto and Laura Caballero. The last episode of Here There Is No One Lived was broadcast in July 2006 and, almost two decades later, Cuerva wanted to congratulate her former pet on her birthday on the podcast Animales Humanes.
“Valentine! Wherever you are, I love you. Happy birthday, my love,” Cuerva said. And when the interviewer asked if she behaved well, she answered that “he behaved very well”, that he was a “beautiful little dog” and that the affection she felt for him was genuine.
The Barcelona actress has also revealed that she is “in love with animals”, be it a dog or a horse, and that she now takes care of a “tiny” kitten, who is only two weeks old and who is “caught” with her all the time. , leaning on his chest and giving him a lot of affection.
This appearance by Cuerva has raised a wave of tenderness on TikTok. Hundreds of users have commented on the video how much they love the veteran. “But what a wonderful person”, “How can you be that pretty” or “The most beloved woman in Spain, 0 controversies and always has love from all over the world”, are just three examples of responses that can be read in the comments section of the post.
The nice words, however, have not only been directed at Cuerva, but also at the now deceased Cook: “Valentín was the dog of Spain, he appeared everywhere.” Definitely, there are many who keep good memories and mourn the death of this beautiful animal that aroused so much love: “What a shame to know that the little dog left us a few years ago.”
