Zandro, whom she fondly calls Z, immediately rushed to her side and tapped her back as if trying to wake her.
Surprised by his response, Jodi could not continue the prank. Z even shook her head, prompting the actress to laugh and reveal that she was fine.
“Man’s best friend talaga sila. It’s a blessing to be loved and chosen by them,” Jodi wrote in the video.
As soon as she reassured him, Z barked at her, appearing to check her condition. Jodi gently caressed her dog and said, “I love you. Joke lang ‘yun. Mommy is fine.”
In her caption, the actress reflected on the experience and what it meant to her.
“Sinubukan kong i-prank si Z. Ang eksena kunwari nahimatay ako,” she shared.
She added that she did not expect such a reaction and realized that in moments like these, Z would be her first responder.
Jodi also emphasized the depth of a pet’s love, saying, “Yung pagmamahal ng pets for us is unconditional. Blessing na magkaroon tayo ng bestfriend na tulad nila sa lifetime natin.”
Netizens quickly flooded the comments section, praising Zandro’s instincts and affection.
“Ang galing! he made sure na gising and lucid ang pasyente.. very good, Z!,” one commenter wrote.
Another added, “Apaka cutie, ng reaction ni kuya Z kung kaya lang nya buhatin si ate Jods for sure ginawa nya na!🤍🥹.”
Zandro has been part of Jodi’s life since 2024, when she adopted him after finding two abandoned puppies while taping the series "Lavender Fields."
At the time, she reassured him with a promise, writing, “You are safe now little Z. Mommy will love and protect you.”
