Puerto Rico has a stray dog problem. Tens of thousands of homeless canines - hundreds of thousands, by some estimates - live and die on the streets and beaches all over this Caribbean island of almost four million people.

I'm really conflicted about my role as a front-person. I hate the attention.

I don't make money on the road, and so there's less and less incentive for me to do it when I don't have that adolescent desire for whatever it is, glory or fame.

I'm just trying to get rid of all the mystery surrounding me and let people see what I'm thinking. So they can understand me and stop assuming things about me.

What happens when your dream comes true - when the spotlight is on and then it moves away?

To make big steps, you've got to take action yourself and not listen to other people.

I never really expected to win the hearts of the masses.
