Simon Cowell had an emotional first meeting with a dog his generous donation to animal charity Humane Society International helped to rescue along with more than 200 other dogs on a squalid dog meat farm in South Korea.
The meeting between Simon and Robin the maltese-cross took place during an interview with Robin’s adopter, Good Morning Britain’s Philippa Tomson, who herself has travelled out to South Korea twice with Hsi charity to see our dog meat campaign in action.
Speaking of Hsi’s end dog meat campaign and Ms Tomson’s support, Simon said: “This is difficult for me … but it is important because without people like you, he’d basically be in someone’s stomach. Now you think about that, right? And dogs will give up their lives for you. They really would…and they’ll look after your kids, they put their lives in front of your kids.
