In a world filled with talented cops, dangerous criminals, and complicated cases, Will Trent has found his sweetest “secret weapon”: Betty, a tiny Chihuahua who has captured the hearts of millions of viewers.
On the cover of the special issue of Parade released on February 26, 2023, Betty is officially honored as TV’s newest – and perhaps most adorable – star.
From the Streets to TV
Betty is not only the show’s pet, but also the loyal companion of Will Trent (Ramón Rodríguez). She first appeared when Will realized that he could no longer let a small life survive in dire circumstances. And in just a few episodes, the audience fell madly in love with Betty.
Without dialogue, Betty conquers everyone with her big, intelligent eyes, mischievous perked ears, and “aura” that is both shy and strong – just like a gentle reflection of Will himself.
Why Do Audiences Love Betty?
Warmth in the Storm
Amidst the gruesome cases, Betty is a symbol of love and hope, reminding Will – and all of us – that good things still exist.
Character Connection
Betty not only helps the audience understand Will better, but also acts as a bridge between him and the people around him, especially Angie Polaski.
The “healing dog” model
A series of comments on social networks affirm: “I watch Will Trent just to see Betty!”, “Betty is the reason I am happy every week.”
Behind the Camera
To create authentic moments, the film crew always prepares a quiet space for Betty. Ramón Rodríguez once shared:
“Every time I pick Betty up, I forget all my tiredness. She is the perfect co-star.”
Thanks to the love of the whole crew, Betty is not just a cute “accessory” but a real character, contributing to the soul of the series.
Ready for the Title of “Beloved Star”!
After appearing on Parade, Betty officially joined the ranks of “legendary dogs” on the screen, standing shoulder to shoulder with names like Eddie in Frasier or Bruiser in Legally Blonde.
And with a growing fan base, it is no surprise that she will soon have her own social media account to update her new journey.
“Betty is not just a dog. She is a small, adorable heart that every audience wants to protect.”
