Here lies Buboy, a stray dog who became best friends with a kind teacher named Professor Marcelo. Every single day, Buboy would come to school just to see his favorite person. The professor would share his lunch, give belly rubs, and talk to Buboy like a true friend.

But one day, something sad happened. The professor passed away. Nobody could explain to Buboy where his friend had gone. For two whole weeks, this loving dog kept coming to school, waiting at the teacher's office door. He would scratch at the door and look around, hoping to see his friend again.

The people at the school felt so sad watching Buboy wait. They even took him to say goodbye at the professor's funeral. Everyone there had tears in their eyes when they saw how much Buboy missed his friend.

People started calling Buboy the "Philippine Hachiko" because, like another famous dog in Japan, he showed what true friendship means. When Buboy died later, they buried him in a special pet cemetery. His story was so special that people still talk about him today.

Buboy teaches us something amazing: dogs love us with their whole hearts. They don't care if we're rich or poor, or what we look like. They just love us for who we are. ❤️

Ang larawang ito ay kuha ng isang vendor na nakaupo sa isang bangketa, at ayon sa kwento..
"Nakaupo ang asong ito at pinagmamasdan ang mga customer na kumuha ng pagkain sa akin at binigyan ako ng perang papel bilang kapalit. Maya-maya, agad siyang bumangon at nagdala ng isang piraso ng dahon, at tumingin sa akin ng inosente at tila umaasa na mabibigyan din siya ng pagkain"

Ang kuwentong ito ay isang halimbawa na kung saan kahit isang hayop ay sumusubok na maunawaan ang pag-uugali ng tao.

Even when separated by long distances, it’s not unusual for dogs to find their way back to their owners—but what's the science behind these real-life "Homeward Bound" stories? 🐾

Dogs' keen navigational skills are usually attributed to their sharp sense of smell and homing instincts inherited from their ancient wolf ancestors. But some researchers think there's much more to it, including abilities shared with migratory birds, salmon, and whales.

Mali is immortalized. 🐘 Salamat sa ‘yo Mali.

In life, Mali was denied her freedom—forced to endure decades of loneliness and captivity in a concrete enclosure. In death, she has been denied even the dignity of rest.

Mali's remains have been taxidermied and once more she has been put on display, turning her suffering into a spectacle once again. This is a heartbreaking reminder of how we, as a society, must do better in treating animals with respect, both in life and in death.

Mali deserved freedom. She deserved compassion. She deserved so much more than this. 😔

Stray (2020) is a poignant documentary directed by Elizabeth Lo that follows the lives of three stray dogs—Zeytin, Nazar, and Kartal—as they roam the streets of Istanbul, Turkey. Through the eyes of these dogs, the film offers a unique, ground-level perspective on the lives of the city's human inhabitants. The film draws attention to the city's policy of allowing stray animals to live freely on the streets, unlike in many other cities where strays are taken to shelters. The dogs form unique bonds with marginalized groups, including homeless people and refugees, revealing the profound empathy shared between them. Stray is a quiet, observational piece that sheds light on the interconnections between human and animal lives, exploring themes of freedom, survival, and companionship.
