EVENT started to peel off, and some areas are littered with garbage, I saw an old man pushing a run-down wooden cart uphill from Plaza Moraga. Inside the cart is a white dog and when I asked to carry the canine, he followed.

"What are you doing with the dog?" "Nangunguha ako ng mga karton, kasama ko ang aking aso, best friend ko po." "Kmusta naman po ang kita ninyong dalawa?" "Okay lang,pantawid araw-araw." "Eh, dapat malaki ang kita ninyo kasi my aso pa kayong pakakainin."

What images stuck in my mind were the images of the man and the dog. So telling moved my very sense of value and how important the warm relationship between human beings and the dog giving me the best reason why a dog is man's best friend, even with a rich or poor master.

"Oo, nga, pero ang aso, parang tao na rin. Masayang kasama sa buhay. Kahit ano ang aming buhay. Ang kinakain ko kinakain din niya. Walang reklamo."

I handed him some money and he thanked me for my generosity. And a brief shower of prayer!

I looked at him as he started pushing his cart, probably going to Plaza Lawton where one can find neglect, especially within

The dog has the innocence of poverty, a strong sense of wantedness, and a sense of genuine belonging; unlike the man who has to maintain a certain social life to be different, to be in a higher status in society, and to be a master, to be in a higher caste.

But the dogs, having a rich or a poor master, are still man's best friends.

"I wish I were a dog."
