Salma Hayek Makes Time for a Furry Fan Before her Today Show Interview

If you know that Salma Hayek has an estimated 30 to 50 pets and farm animals at home (most being rescues), you won’t be surprised to see her make time to get to know any furry fans she meets. Just before appearing on the Today Show, Hayek bumped into a security dog named Neptune.

Hayek was recorded as she walked backstage for her interview, but saw a very good boy and had to pull over to meet him. Despite a waiting audience, she made time to get on the floor and really get to know Neptune – and the pair hit it off immediately (maybe he was already a fan?)

Several comments that have hit 5-digit likes applaud her true love for animals (and loving meeting a dog more than she cares about her fancy designer dress)

Most of Hayak’s pets are rescues and include dogs, cats, alpacas, parrots, geese, chickens, fish, horses, rabbits, hamsters, one owl, and more. And if you’re wondering how she fits them all in, she has three homes with one being a farm ranch in Washington State.

And did you know Salma Hayek famously has a pet owl named Kering? And you can join them both for a meditation session?
