In the small town of Cabuyao City, Laguna, life moves at a leisurely pace, but for Victor Briones, the days are filled with joy and a unique kind of assistance. Meet Bron, a filipino dog with a penchant for helping around the house.

Victor shares that it all started when Bron was just a 3-months-old puppy.

 “3 month old na siya ng aking turuan. Nanonood ako ng mga tutorial sa YouTube. Kung paano ituro ang mga ibat-ibang tricks ng aso. Mga 7-months-old marunong na siyang kunin ang aking tsinelas saka magsara ng pinto. Mga 1-year na rin siguro nung umpisa niya akong tulungan sa mga gawaing bahay,” he recalls.

From there, Bron’s altruism grew. He now helps with picking up and throwing away trash, fetching items, grabbing clothes' hangers, folding clothes occasionally and even putting his socks in the drawer. And above all of these, taking Victor’s slippers and shutting the door is Bron’s favorite activity.

Fur dad, Victor, was astonished by Bron’s skills and noted that although he has several other dogs, but none are quite like to Bron.

“Kakaiba talaga siya sa mga aso nmin..smart talaga siya. Ang bilis niyang maka-pick-up kahit ako talaga natutuwa at namamangha talaga. Kapag may itinuturo akong tricks, mga 3 minutes lang alam na niya agad,” he added.

As for Bron, the reward is as simple as a pandesal or his best-loved chicken, is enough for him.

 In Laguna, this four-legged helper is a shining example of the bond between humans and their canine companions—a bond that goes beyond companionship to true teamwork.

This heartwarming story showcases the remarkable bond between Victor and Bron, highlighting how a dog’s love and eagerness to help can make everyday tasks a little easier and a lot more enjoyable.
