This dog video will put you in the Valentine spirit

MANILA, Philippines – The saying that a dog is man’s best friend rings true, but more than that, dogs can bring people together.

A common love for dogs can spark a conversation between complete strangers in a park. It can bring together a group of friends that might have never met under different circumstances. Some couples even treat their dog like their own child (practice before they actually have a kid).

There are dog and pet lover groups on Facebook that bring together over tens of thousands of people on the Internet to discuss proper pet care, training, health, plan activities, and just to share pictures of their beloved dogs being their cute selves.

When we can, we bring our dogs everywhere. No longer limited to staying at home and going on walks in the parks and villages, even malls have begun opening their doors to our four-legged friends. The Philippines is clearly a dog loving country.

February is a month to celebrate love and not only on Valentine’s Day or to a specific significant other, family member, or friend. We are reminded that love is a universal language and one that even extends to other species, specifically our furry and loyal best friends.

This Sunday, February 15, celebrate Valentine with your dogs and bring them to Eastwood City’s Must Love Pets: A Valentine Pet Soiree at the Eastwood Mall Open Park. Registration starts at 11AM.

Watch the heart-melting video above and remember the ones who are always wagging their tails excited to greet you after a long day at work. The ones that have the ability to calm you and make you smile even after the most stressful of days. Remember the ones who will cuddle with you at night and look at you longingly with sad eyes as you leave the house for school or work. This will remind you of their love and how this is a good time to show them how much we love them back.

So put your dog on his leash, grab your date (or meet a date there) and head over to the Eastwood Pet Soiree and celebrate the love between you and your pet. – Rappler.com
