Blocked his path and kept on barking
The story begins on the morning of Christmas Eve, when 36-year-old Junrell Fuentes Revilla had been travelling along a local dumpsite on his motorcycle. As he was making his way, a black stray dog blocked his path and started barking at him profusely.

After some time had passed and the noisy pup refused to stop, Mr Revilla decided to follow the dog to a grassy spot on the dumpsite where he then made a startling discovery – an abandoned baby with no parent in sight.

Mr Revilla immediately brought the baby to the hospital for treatment. Cebu Daily News also reported that officials are currently investigating the incident and trying to find the baby’s mother by reaching out to locals in the area.
Making matters worse was the fact that the baby boy was clearly a newborn – only wrapped in a towel, the infant had his placenta and umbilical cord still attached. Though nothing has been confirmed, one could make the assumption that the poor baby was abandoned right after birth.

From initial reports, many including Mr Revilla thought that the brave doggo was just a stray. However in a splash of wholesome news, the canine hero is named Blacky – a 1.5 year old cutie owned by one Lyndon Olingay in Sibonga town, CDN shared.
Concerned netizens who were worried not just for the baby but also the “stray” were relieved to know that he had a family that cared for him.
Blacky definitely wins hero of the year award in our books.
And despite the unfortunate situation, we hope the little baby boy can also find a loving family to take care of him as well.
