The dog who was dubbed as the “Pinoy Hachikō,” has received its own statue on its grave.
“Buboy” the stray dog went viral after he was seen patiently waiting for his master in Pampanga who has actually already died.
The Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF) posted a photo of Buboy’s statue, built in the foundation’s animal cemetery in Capas, Tarlac.

A month after his master’s death, Buboy died after he was hit by a vehicle.
