RUN FREE, DOLLY 🌈🐾
Dolly, also known as Dolores, the half-faced dog and animal welfare ambassador of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), has died peacefully at the PAWS Shelter.
PAWS said Dolly spent her final moments in the arms of her fur-parents, Tej and Deb, with her sister Lizzie by her side. Volunteers also joined through Zoom to say goodbye to the dog who became a symbol of the fight against animal cruelty.
Dolly, who was once an island dog, became a victim of animal cruelty after someone threw boiling oil at her face. Despite her injuries, she survived and later joined PAWS in lobbying for the proposed ALAGA Bill, which seeks to impose stronger penalties for animal cruelty.
Although Dolly did not live to see the measure passed, PAWS said her story will remain part of the campaign for stronger animal protection. (Facebook/PAWS Philippines)
A fire burns brightest when there is distance between the logs.
When the logs finally touch, the flame becomes steadier and warmer.
Less dramatic.
Less visible.
But often more capable of lasting.
With “Bebot” trending again on TikTok, it reminded me of @apldeap contribution to the music industry. He’s also one of the Filipinos (though not pure) who was nominated for and won Grammy Awards with his group, the Black Eyed Peas. At hoy, baka may Gcash account din yan sya! 😂
Taena ng lipunan na kayang magpakulong agad-agad ng nagnakaw ng Goya chocolate worth 80 pesos pero hindi kayang ipakulong ang mga nagnanakaw ng bilyon-bilyon sa kaban ng bayan.
