Dog that waited for owner outside morgue for over a year up for adoption
MANILA, Philippines — The dog that stayed for more than a year outside a hospital morgue in Caloocan city, waiting for his owner to return, will soon be up for adoption. Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF) told INQUIRER.net this news on Wednesday. According to AKF, the ‘aspin’ or asong Pinoy was named ‘Morgan’ by people around it because it stayed at the morgue of Manila Central University Hospital since its owner died there in 2022 due to COVID-19. AKF recalled for such an extended period, guards, doctors, hospital staff, medical representatives, and other strangers looked after the dog. Based on the foundation’s recent online posts, it learned that people in the hospital chose not to report Morgan to the city pound, fearing that it would be euthanized when captured. AKF said the family of Morgan’s owner used to visit and try to take the dog back home, but Morgan chose to remain in that portion of the hospital. The family eventually stopped visiting the pet, but the foundation still hopes it will reach out to them. On October 7, AKF took Morgan to their center in Capas, Tarlac, where it will be rehabilitated. AKF President and Program Director Heidi Caguioa described Morgan when they found it. “The dog is very sweet. Napaka-mild. Wala siyang manifestation of aggression,” she said. (The dog is adorable. Very mild. It has no manifestation of aggression.) “As in, masyadong siyang ano, close talaga siya sa mga tao,” she noted. (As in, it is so… it is very close to the people.) Caguioa told INQUIRER.net over the phone that once it is ready, Morgan will soon be turned over to a new owner. Currently, they are still rehabilitating its health. Morgan will be vaccinated and neutered as well. “Sa amin na muna siya. We will bring him back to health,” Caguioa said. (He will stay with us in the meantime. We will bring him back to health.) “Sobrang baba ng kanyang platelet counts, but he’s eating. He’s definitely very appetent,” she observed. (His platelet count is too low, but he’s eating. He has a good appetite.) “Ma-rehab lang namin siya, and hopefully, we’ll be able to find a good home for him,” Caguioa said. “We will rehabilitate him, and hopefully, we’ll be able to find a good home for him.) There is already a long list of people who want to take care of Morgan, but there
