MY RATING Summary

A cousin of mine asked me if I ever heard of the Filipino Hero Dog, who is supposed to be the most popular Pet celebrity in the Philippines.

It’s a very sad and touching story, and I always get teary every time I see a Kabang video clip. And her always seeming so happy makes it harder to watch, despite what happened to her.

All the people who were involved in her to have an operation and to keep her happy until her last days. And to have a monument built for her. Such a story.

LOVABILITY – (Charm, Appeal, Personality, Uniqueness)
