Hachiko might be Japan’s most famous loyal dog, but the Philippines has its own heart-tugging story, and his name is Tigre.
In a TikTok post by netizen @cijey.7, their family dog Tigre can be seen quietly staying by the coffin of their late grandfather, refusing to leave his side even after he passed.
“Grief has no species,” wrote the uploader in the caption.
