PET owner: Mia Singson-Léon
Pet name: Cookie & Rocky
Pet breed: Beagle, Mixed breed/Aspin
“Rocky was rescued by my little boy from a construction site. He is the baby. He is playful and loves teasing and annoying his older sister Cookie. Cookie is prim and proper, very gentle when playing with her humans but the Alpha to her baby brother. She’s the boss. They are inseparable. If you try to separate them, Rocky will whine and cry as loud as he can until Cookie is beside him.”
What’s the best thing about your pets?
“Just a few minutes with them is enough to make me feel better, even after a rough day at work. They make me laugh and bring out the snuggle-bug in me. They force me to walk and jog around the village during weekends too, so that’s a big plus!”
What tip can you give people who want to be responsible pet owners?
“Don’t bring a dog home if you can’t love and take care of them like family. They are not objects to use, but living creatures that want nothing but to love and be loved by you. They want lots of food, too.”
