After Being Abandoned By His Parents, The Boy Found Love In The Dog’s Arms

Rommel Quemenales, an 11-year-old boy from Quezon City, Philippines, has lived apart from his divorced parents since he was a child. She has an older sister who lives in another city, but she has been begging for food on the streets since she passed second grade since she lacks the financial means to get there.

After being abandoned by his loved ones, Rommel claims he always wanted to finish school, but he was forced to drop out. Images of him and his puppy spread throughout the internet after his story gained popularity on social media, touching the hearts of thousands of people all over the world.

Maria Kabs saw the child and his dog on the streets and shared photographs of them on her Facebook page. The woman was so affected that she felt compelled to photograph the two wonderful friends.

According to Rommel, he found comfort in Badgi, a stray dog who was also wandering the streets alone. Since then, the two have become close friends who encourage one another to keep fighting for life.

When Rommel needed food, he always shared it with his closest friend, and in return, Badgi always protected his buddy from other begging youngsters. Every night, the two friends hugged and slept close to one another, effort to recover from the weariness of the day.

The horrible circumstances under which these two small individuals met and enriched each other’s lives provided both hope and despair. Rommel appeared unafraid of cruelty and loneliness when with Badgi; for his part, the puppy didn’t mind whether his friend was an affluent youngster or a homeless; love was enough for this dog.



Little Rommel is attending courses and establishing a brighter future with his amazing canine friend, according to Yan.vn, thanks to the efforts of many people and Maria’s popular post about her experience with Badgi.

Despite many bad things that have happened in his little life, this young child is still full of love and optimism and is content with the amazing connection he has formed with his trusty dog.
