WATCH: Noynoy Aquino’s dog Apollo attends burial

Apollo, the six-year-old dog of the late former president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, attended the burial of his longtime friend on Saturday, June 26.

Aquino got the German Shepherd dog as a gift sometime in 2015, over a year before he stepped down from office.

Aquino was fond of dogs, tweeting in 2017 about Apollo.

Aside from Apollo, Aquino also owned another dog named Athena. — Rappler.com
