Professor Marcelo, who just passed away, was waiting for Buboy, the Mabalacat City College dog, at the door of a teachers’ lounge in Manila, the Philippines. The pictures gained popularity on social media after being posted there.

When Ma Kristina Paola Demafelix saw Buboy, the university dog, waiting for the professor who used to care and feed him, she posted a photo of it on Facebook.

“I sobbed every time I saw you, Buboy. Losing a love hurts. Especially if you lose a teacher who cared for you like family. He came to the University even though he didn’t have lessons to look after you and feed you.”

Buboy must be in excruciating anguish knowing that the person he loved most in this world was gone and was never coming back.

Mr. Marcelo was in the ICU, thus he was unable to attend the university. Buboy, however, continued to use the staff restroom, and yesterday we observed him seemingly pounding on the door.

Buboy insisted on seeing his owner, so Ma Kristina took him to the viewing area in the hopes that it would help the dog comprehend why he would not see his companion once more and let him to say his final goodbyes.
