This corner features pets of animal lovers every week. We hope new owners and those thinking of getting a pet will be encouraged to be responsible “furparents” through these features. We also hope more people will be moved to be kind to animals when they read about the great relationship that can be created between humans and animals.

TOOTSIE and her two siblings were abandoned in the house of a neighbor of Maritess Ong.
The three puppies had no food and water for about two days.
Maritess’ mother decided to ask for help from the barangay officials to rescue Tootsie and her siblings.
Tootsie, now one year and three months old, was adopted by Maritess’ family, while the two other pups were adopted by the barangay tanods.
“Tootsie knows some tricks and my Dad said she is very intelligent,” Maritess says.
Maritess adds,” “She loves sleeping beside her hoomans and bath time.”
“Hopefully, she stays healthy and live a long life. We cook mallungay and mix it with her dogfood. She loves it so much, “ Maritess says.
