Dogs have always been referred to as "man's best friend," but how much do we actually know about the history of dogs in the Philippines? In celebration of International Dog Day and History Month, let's unravel the story behind the mysterious dog at Rizal's execution and discover more stories about dogs, from the early encounters of the Filipino people with canines in Cagayan 4,000 years ago and other famous dog personalities.
