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.

CHUOKOY, rescued from Bulacan, is a male senior mix of Japanese fitz and shih tzu.
Owner Martha Ycelle Faith recalls that Chuokoy “roamed around the barrio side of Bulacan looking for food. My son told me to rescue him from hunger so from my place, I didn't hesitate to get him.”
Martha adds: “He had a skin problem at the back that caused baldness. He was skinny too. I spent most of my money for the transportation just to get to him.”
Martha treated Chuokoy’s skin problem by giving him a bath three times a week using the lukewarm water from boiled guava leaves. After two weeks, the skin problem was gone.
“He is so smart sweet and clingy. He would raise his front paws to stand whenever he asks for a cuddle,” Martha says.
.”Now he's my little baby bunso roaming in my place and making me happy, Martha adds.
