One thing my husband and I regret is not being able to bring Sheero with us at Puerto Galera—she would have loved it. Perhaps, just like this dog:
Ahh. Talk about the life: this mutt is having a vacation every single day. He sleeps on the sea shore (the dogs in Puerto Galera seem to particularly prefer sleeping on the shore, close enough to hear the waves but far enough not to get swept away into the sea), while enjoying the smell of grilling pork chops and kebab.
This dog on the picture is owned by a massage therapist servicing a lady nearby. The dogs in Puerto Galera are owned by the vendors and bar owners. We saw one “guarding” the guy grilling the porks and kebab. Another accompanied his ice cream vendor master, waiting patiently while she tried to sell ice drops.

It’s a pity most Filipinos still can’t afford to spend on their pets to provide adequate veterinary care.
The dog in the picture is obviously suffering from a chronic skin disorder, more likely caused by skin parasites (and/or neglect).
Some pet owners would think that it’s enough to feed them and give them shelter. We should also make sure that we’re giving them the quality of life they deserve as part of the family.
