Nacho the Chihuahua finally feels safe with his new family.
A heartwarming video posted by Monica Matute, known as @themobtrio, has captivated millions online, documenting the discovery that her foster dog, Nacho, responds exclusively to Spanish commands. The video, uploaded on September 30, 2025, shows Matute initially struggling to get Nacho, a small chihuahua-mix wearing a cone and diaper, to respond to English prompts. However, a shift to Spanish phrases such as "Qué pasó" (What happened) and "Vamos afuera" (Let's go outside) elicited an immediate and profound reaction from the dog, who began to whimper and excitedly jump off the bed. "He melts," Matute narrates in the video, expressing her surprise and emotion. The moment of realization, as Nacho responded to "Vamos afuera," was particularly impactful, leading to Matute's audible gasp and delighted laughter. This discovery not only solved a communication puzzle but also offered a poignant insight into Nacho's past. Matute noted in her video description, "I hope his previous family is doing okay — Nacho gives me the impression he was previously loved." The video has sparked widespread discussion among viewers about the potential language barriers for adopted animals and the importance of understanding their backgrounds, garnering over 13 million views and 3 million likes.
