The 2024 Martín Fierro Awards had an extra dose of charm and style, thanks to an unusual guest! With a matching tuxedo and a star-worthy attitude, Ramoncito, Hernán Lirio’s Jack Russell Terrier, captivated the blue carpet and everyone’s hearts.

At the prestigious Martín Fierro 2024 ceremony, the spotlight was not only on the night's winners but also on a small but significant guest: Ramoncito. The charming Jack Russell Terrier, known for his 200,000 Instagram followers, made a grand entrance alongside Hernán Lirio, wearing a black tuxedo to match his famous owner’s.

Hernán Lirio, the host of Tenés que ir on Channel 9, was nominated in the “Travel and Tourism” category. Instead of facing renowned competitors such as Resto del Mundo hosted by Fede Bal (El Trece), Por el Mundo hosted by Marley (Telefe), and Todos Podemos Viajar hosted by Silvina Panizzi (NET TV) alone, Lirio chose to bring his loyal companion Ramoncito as his gala partner. This choice not only highlighted their deep bond but also added an unparalleled touch of charm to the event.

Ramoncito’s presence stood out not just for his elegance but also for the emotional backstory behind his appearance. Having recently undergone a complicated liver tumor operation, the puppy became a symbol of resilience and unconditional love. Hernán Lirio, visibly emotional, shared the challenge of finding the perfect outfit for his furry friend: “Finding a tuxedo for Ramoncito was quite a search. In the end, we managed to get one, and I’m thrilled to share this moment with him.”

As the ceremony continued, Ramoncito enjoyed his starring role from the comfort of his room at the Hilton, where he watched the broadcast on TV. His appearance on the blue carpet was the charming touch everyone anticipated, becoming the talk of the night.

Hernán Lirio, like his pet, left an indelible mark on the event. “Bringing Ramoncito with me was a dream come true. This moment reflects the incredible bond we share,” said Lirio, who also took the opportunity to express his gratitude for the support received during Ramoncito’s recovery.

At the end of the night, Lirio shared his excitement and thanks on social media: “One of the most beautiful moments of my career and the happiness was complete being able to share it with @ramoncitolirio, with my friend and partner @arydcornell, with Aunt Moni, who is always there! We were nominated for the MARTÍN FIERRO as best travel and tourism program. I’ve been watching the MARTÍN FIERRO since I was a kid. I watched it in Villa María with my dad, and I always remember him saying: ‘One day you’ll be there, and you’ll win it.’ Last night it didn’t happen, but since I’m very persistent, I know I’ll win it! That day will come, and I’ll dedicate it to my dad, who always believed in me. Thanks to each of the hundreds of messages I received on Instagram, WhatsApp, and everywhere. I feel very loved and believe that @tenesqueir is an EXCELLENT product made with a lot of love! The MF will come! At this moment, I had asked God for something else, and He fulfilled it 🙏. We stayed at @hiltonbuenosaires because it’s pet-friendly, and they treated us great! Thanks for that good vibe!”

Thus, the Martín Fierro evening was enriched by the love and loyalty of a stylish puppy, showing that sometimes the true stars are those who carry a heart as big as their elegant attire. A night to remember, where Ramoncito stole the show and everyone’s hearts!
