MANILA, Philippines — Today, do your paw friend a huge favor!
It's International Dog Day and, as a gift for your favorite fur baby, you can search for the best accommodations on your next days out when it is safe to travel again.
To help you find these pet-friendly accommodations, TikTok star Luffy gives his wish list.
Luffy went viral this year when his owner Sarah Jayne Balbidadez posted a quick clip of his huge grin when she picked him up from a dog grooming parlor in Imus, Cavite and has since amassed a massive following of 1.5 million followers of TikTok.
Sarah shared, “I love traveling and exploring new places with Luffy, it makes my travel experiences so much more memorable when I get to share it with my best friend. With the plethora of pet-friendly stays offered by Airbnb Hosts, fur parents like myself and their babies can go on many more meaningful adventures together.”
